God’s Aching Feet
It’s said we’re made in God’s image;
and I sincerely believe it’s true;
we are more than made in his lineage;
a separate part of him, we imbue.
We’re said to be God’s hands and feet;
and tho that seems surreal;
even though we have yet to meet;
such thoughts, have appeal.
It is often claimed we share his voice;
and, though such thoughts are nice;
I’d much rather heed the Master’s choice;
than to take man’s advice.
It’s a lovely picture of such a link;
to think of such a similarity;
but allow me to be more succinct;
man lacks God’s sincerity.
We think since we have feet to walk;
we can simply walk away;
but, we often fail to walk our talk;
in this, only God has sway.
When it comes to backbone; we differ;
we are very unlike our Master;
when we are challenged; we quiver;
often causing disaster.
I have learned; from loss comes gain;
and when God and I finally meet;
I may see my Master wince in pain;
since I am God’s aching feet.
