Inspired by the "I Am" Challenge


I am but a tiny grain of sand
Lying on the beach of God's creation

I glisten in the sunlight
Of God's love
Contributing to
The beauty
Of God's celestial shore

Only a grain of sand
Nevertheless
Created by God's own hand
I am

I stand ready
To be used
As his word commands.

Dear Septsong--
what comes to my mind is that we can have our I am's because of the Great I AM--and the morer we are attune to Him and His will for us the grreater we can become in His service, (I Corinthians 15:10),   David
  Thank you for this one!

This is a great one! I love your humility as a grain of sand. It is so true that no matter how little we are, He can use us in mighty ways! He sure does that with you!!!
love, Ellie

Septsong,
The creation answers the creator's call. What a nice sentiment. I like your work Septsong.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

Enjoyed your poem very much.  When you think of the billions of people on this earth and those billions of decendents of Adam and Eve, it's easy to equate our selves as a grain of sand on God's beach.  He knows and loves each of us as if we were the only grain of sand on the entire beach.
                   Warm regards,

Stepsong,
I appreciate the concept around your lovely poem. I love how you took us, "I am but a tiny grain of sand" and weaved us into the tapestry of, "Created by God's own hand
I am".  Just beautiful, Marcy

Septsong - A simple grain of sand!  You have shown with your words, how nothing, no matter how small, is insignificant in His eyes.  Thanks, Bonnie

Septsong, Seldom do I post twice to a poem, but I just wanted you to know how humbled I am by this message and how loving our Creator is for each one of us, grains of sand

I am humbled by all your nice comments about this poem. Guess it goes to prove that "little is much when God is in it."
