"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
HERE AT THE BEGINNING Here at the beginning Here in the quiet presence of You Here I lay my heart down Come, Conquer, Subdue Here at the beginning Teach me what to ask I don't want vain words Or straws at which to grasp Here at the beginning Show me Your truth Wrap me in Your presence Let Your love infuse Here at the beginning May I come to an end May my every heartbeat Collide with Yours, descend Here at the beginning Begin in me anew Until all of me is gone And there is ever and always You...

You sure know how to encourage one at the beginning of New Year. Surely the Holy Spirit was leading you in this beautiful poem.
