Little Flowers for God: Collected Poetry Volume I - E-book - ePub

The poetry contained in this book has been gathered from my other published works and "bound together" here in a single place. The collection is unabridged (I have only removed "repeats, " when a poem appears in multiple places), and the poems are given mostly in the order in which they were written. Therefore, this collection shows with spontaneity the development and deepening of my thought and prayer over the last few years; and indeed it bears in itself the flowering of the many seeds of grace which were planted in the soil of my heart and my life before the writing of all that is contained here.
My prayer is that you may experience his tender gaze while you read and reflect upon my words-that in some small way they may help you to encounter the immensity of God's love for you. This is a love that is unique, unrepeatable, and unspeakably close, a love through which he yearns ardently to enfold you in his embrace and to unite you to himself in an intimacy that surpasses all hope and imagination, and which endures throughout life until it finds its consummation in eternity.
