Praise (Poem)

Seek me first He said to me, let go of your feelings be set free. Give your all and worship truly, I will see your heart and your gracious beauty. No shadows will drag you down, because I'm your God who will not allow you to be bound. No matter where you are each day, your King will come to mind and you will give praise. There will be a day when you will be with the Lord, your Guide, your Savoir, never needing more. On your special day, I will dress you in white, you'll sit at my feet and all will be right. Walking with Jesus down paths with violets on the vine, hand in hand rejoicing with Him, that's what's on my mind. Feeling good and happy about my life today, I'm filled with Gods spirit and love always. Praising is more than a thank you, you see, it's a gift I'm giving to God, so He will draw near to me. Praises got me through heartache for sure, praise will bring me to worship that is pure. A praise in my mind, a praise in my heart, a praise in my voice a praise in my walk. God is a good God I know, He has brought me where I am now, I know where I will go. Amazing praise will be what I give, for till the day I make it to heaven, where I will live. Because I drew near to Thee, you kept your promise and drew near to me.

Praise should be in all we do, it's a choice we make to always acknowledge God, to let Him know we are not ashamed. This is something I don't do enough and I want to. I wrote this for a friend to encourage them to keep their head up and know God keeps His promises.
