Gifts I Would Give To You

​

"I would give you a perfect love
To replace anything that you fear
For we read “There is no fear in love;
But perfect love casteth out fear.”

​

I would give you the “peace of God,
Which passeth all understanding”
And no matter how fierce the storm
You would always be left standing.

​

I would give you patience to endure
When your strength seems to falter
Which makes you realize that all you need is
To seek God’s strength at His altar.

​

I would give you a greater faith
That many a victory would be won
That you would trust in God always
And realize that He’s the ONLY ONE.

​

I would give you an overflowing joy
That you have ever in this life known
For I would give you God’s constant presence,
And you would never be alone.

​

I would give you an undying hope
And all your needs would be met
You would never want anything
That in my power I could get

​

These are the gifts I’d give you
If the power were in my hand,
But as you well know, I can’t, but
God certainly can!

​

From the one who loved you unconditionally, Mommy"
