'Heart Of Thorns' Poem by Linda Winchell

“God please place a thorn deep within my heart,
To seed itself inside,
That I might feel the pain of your inflictions,
The pain of sin that man tries so hard to hide.'

I need to remember daily Lord,
Of all the pain that you went through,
The pain you took so willingly,
That pain I never knew.

Place it as a test of my faithfulness,
My faithfulness to only you,
A reminder daily of what I need to know,
That reminder Lord… of only you.
