God's Magnets

God makes us all like magnets in a way,
designed to be attracted to our race,
no matter what some animals display,
we're charmed most by another human face.

Some think compassion is our greatest trait,
why do we lend a child such empathy?
There is a call to which we all relate,
so there but for God's grace galore is me.

God found a way to fuse us to His soul,
He puts in us a spark of His, divine,
His like and image help to make us whole,
I do God's will, but, free, I make it mine.

O God, just as I'm magnetized to Thee,
all others can be drawn to Thee in me.
