MY FRIEND
Sometimes I go to God's house,
sometimes He visits mine;
He often comes to work with me
and helps me pass the time.
He's with me in the kitchen
when I cook and as I scrub;
I meditate upon Him
while lolling in the tub.
He keeps me company driving
and when I take a walk;
God and I stroll quietly
and other times, we talk.
God's there when I am shopping
and watering my flowers;
He inspires my writing,
in computer weary hours.
He's in me as I minister
and hears me as I pray,
lifts me up when I am downcast
and helps me through the day.
He sups with me at table
and He joins me in my rest.
Oh, when we are communing,
they're the times I like the best.
God loves it when I worship Him
and glorify His Name;
He shines His Face upon me
and ignites me with His Flame!
I read to know God better,
for He knows all about me;
fills sleepy thoughts at bedtime
with His sweet tranquility.
How blessed I am to know Him!
Love overflows my heart!
I count upon His faithfulness
and know we'll never part.
My heart is filled with gladness
every moment that I spend
with The Creator of the Universe,
Holy God, my Friend.

Several years ago I read Friendship With God by Wayne Monbleau, and learned about having a personal and intimate relationship with "the lover of my soul". You can have that kind of a relationship with Him, too!
This poem was written in 2000.
