Burning in Your Presence

My life burns in Your Presence as a candle.
Before you I stand as melting wax,
Awaiting Your seal
And assignment.

My days have come in steady supply,
Grace and provision never wanting.
Loaves and fishes You have given me.
In prayer I place my plenty in Your Hands.

Leaning on Your Arm,
I wait for You
To multiply even the smallest morsel
To feed a hungry world.

“What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.”

“An argument in apologetics, when actually used in dialogue, is an extension of the arguer. The arguer’s tone, sincerity, care, concern, listening, and respect matter as much as his or her logic – probably more. The world was won for Christ not by arguments but by sanctity: “What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.”
