THE GAP

I once tried to fill the gap           in my soul, Lord,   the one You left   for Your own special place I poured into it           my self-will, self-indulgence,  and self-importance I soon learned   I could not fill myself  with myself and have anything left Yearning to be   poured back into Your  special mold of me,   I prayed This time I will fill the gap  with You, Lord Growing from the inside out  as I learn To love You   that I might  love myself to love myself  that I might  love others to love others  that I might  follow Your commands to follow You commands  that I might  be free to be free  that I might  love You better The gap is filled, Lord. ©   1982     by Donna Saulsman Friedrichs
