God in all Places

God is in all the places within ourselves,
our zones of body, mind and soul;
in that lonely place he is a friend,
in that guilty place he is forgiveness,
in that shameful place he is affirmation,
in that joyful place he is happiness,
in that compassionate place he is mercy,
in that sharing place he is encouragement.

God is big enough to be for everyone;
he is weak enough to be for everyone.
