So, Joyce, here's my twist on your challenge.

God's Love IS A Challenge

A "challenge" is a fitting way
To talk about the Lord.
When trying to describe His love,
I think it's the perfect word.

A little child doesn't let
The scientists decide.
Their foolish theories matter not;
He knows the truth inside!

He sees the wonders of the earth --
The grass, the sea, the sky.
It all makes sense as he believes
That "God's that kind of guy."

It's only as we grow in age
And leave the days of youth
That we may strain and wrestle
And deny authentic truth.

The teachings of the learned
Tell us nothing comes from nought,
And somehow, wrapped in lofty speech,
Lies are the gospel we are taught.

Still, God remains and pursues us,
And speaks in various ways;
He shouts in storms and thunderings
And whispers in a million ways.

The sights that thrilled us as mere babes
Are still before our eyes;
He has not left us clueless,
Though He's often in disguise.

So open up your heart to God
And seek Him while you may;
You'll find a lifetime of challenge
When God directs your way!

When Thou saidst, "Seek ye my face"
         my heart said unto Thee,
   "Thy face, LORD, will I seek "
