What Matters

It doesn't matter

that my floor is cluttered,

or that there is laundry to be folded

and put away.

What matters is God

is always,

has always been,

and forever will be

good.

It doesn't matter 

that yesterday was full 

of mistakes and 

shortcomings and

failings.

What matters is God

reminds me to seek him,

redeems me from the pit,

forgives my sin,

and gives me new mercies

every morning.

 Today I want

GOD.

And by his grace

the desire of my heart

and the joy of my life

to be found in him.

Always.
