A good chunk of my life I considered God as a father or even a grandfather. When hurt, I was like a child running to her parents. When in need of something, always asking for help. When gifts were received, thankful for the blessings.
More lately I find myself drawn to God not through need, want or hurt but simply out of love. To know Him, and to truly love Him. There is much that is uncertain about my future or even the upcoming year. However, I do know that I desire I deeper relationship with God.
“My heart is restless, until it rests in you” –St. Augustine
My love, my love
Oh purest love
How I seek you
However far or quickly I ran
You were always near
Forever patient, gentle and kind
Through trial, through pain
Still you stayed
I fought, I argued
I turned away
Still you stayed
How gracious is your love
How sweet is your song
My love, my purest love
Forever, be here to stay
AMEN
