Standing Here with You

That I am standing here this moment
conversing with You
That I am thinking and contemplating
Your existence
Your power
Your creation.

That I affirm my present state
and know that I had no part
in my coming forth.
This, my own life,
my thoughts
my words
my body
my soul
my will, desires and imagination -
all of them are evidence
of the absolute certainty
of Your immediate,
pervasive
and permanent presence.
Only One far greater than I
could create me
with the urge
to seek after,
and find You...
to contemplate and imagine
what goodness and power
and creative glory
spread out the heavens,
and established the earth.
To behold all that is able to be seen
is the perfect evidence
that a greater,
unseen and eternal Maker
has made it all to be.
