REFLECTING ON GOD’S WAYS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Study and meditate on God’s words daily
Then you will know him more intimately
If you pursue and reflect on his character
You will understand and know him better.
He has given you a book to help you see
If you consult it often, you can stay free
Reflect on God’s goodness, mercy and grace
We need to focus on him each and every day.

When you fall in love with someone, don’t you often think of them? Maybe you visualize how they look and memorize how they are, especially when the loved one isn’t around. We can’t stop thinking of this person. The feelings we have for this person is so exciting. We fail to contain it inside and may spill out and manifest by humming a tune or having smile pasted on our face the whole day.
Do you ever feel the same way when you think of God? God loves us tremendously. He thinks about us every moment. He is concerned for us and whatever interest us. He knows every part of us even when we were being formed in our mothers’ womb. He is always there with us. Do we think and reflect on his ways? Do we love him as he loves us?
