An act of Love

I am so sad
His heart is bleeding
He says follow.
and I say, "Okay."
But I do not.
This is my sadness

But I am grateful
Because He is patient
He Shows up
· · · · STILL
when I come to Him

He is kind
By Him I am not condemned
He accepts me as I am
for who I am
He is gentle and takes me in his arms

He looks at me
and through ALL my faults
He sees no evil

When He looks at me
He could become enraged.
He could remove His hands on my life
and I would fall apart.

But He controls Himself.
He allows His son cover my sins -

so I can Hear Him.
So I can feel Him
So I can know His presence.

So that He may call me friend
So that I may call Him Friend

He loves me AND
He SHOWS love to me.
