CHOSEN

Posted byRobert M. HinnenPosted inUncategorized

My world is warm, dark and void of time
But my first thought is “I am loved”
I feel a heart beating that is not mine
A sense of belonging to someone above Providing everything I could possibly need
As all my inward and outward parts are defined Intricately and exquisitely, I become “me” Longing to know the one in whom I’m confined The person in whom I have all my trust
But suddenly without warning there is searing pain Torn limb from limb into the cold I am thrust My last thought is “will I ever know love again?” But immediately there is warmth and light Strong arms gently cradle me
Yet hold me tight
And I wonder “who can this be?”
I feel a heart beating that is not mine
Oh, my Lord and Savior, it is You!
Who suffered and died that I might live Showering me with grace, mercy and love so true Forgiven, that I might also forgive
I know that I am loved

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalms 139:13-14 (ESV)

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
