Love that never ends


Here is my question, here is my thought Do know my mind, the intricacies of my heart? Do You see me even in the dark, when I feel so alone? Do You see the wicked thoughts in my head, when I let my mind roam? Do You see all these scars and this hidden shame? Do You see through these masks I wear and this hidden pain? Here is my thought, the question I feel I must speak If You see all this how can You still love this man who’s so weak? How can You love what fails to do right? How, for dust and ashes could You have given Your life? Yea, if I were as strong as You had been in the flesh Maybe then I could understand why You would freely bless If I’d never made a mistake never spoken a lie Then I could understand how I could be the apple of Your eye But I’ve done all these things, and much worse also I’ve broken hearts, and in the atrocities of the nations I’ve foolishly followed. To those in pain, I lent not a hand Those weaker than me, I did not help to stand Yes, of all Your children, I assume my self to be the worse Still on that day You freely took my hurt You took my pain and swallowed my sin Sent death to grave, while bringing me in In to the holies of holies, in communion with You Washed by the blood of Christ from sin filthier than puke And now this day, I stand full of foolish doubts and fears Stating what I don’t understand, why You remain so near The answer You give me doesn’t make logical sense, at lease not according to man’s logic But still it lifts my spirit, causes my heart to sing You say “My love is enough to overcome all things In mercy and truth I washed away all your past By the Love of the Father, the sacrifice of the Lamb Only have faith, for through it, by grace, you have been saved Like the Son of Man on the third day, you have been risen from the grave Death can no longer hold you, and sin no longer restrain Rejoice! Cry out! You are free from your chains! The answer is that I am enough, as is my blood Though because it is hard for you to understand the complex simplicity of My unconditional love I’ll put it as simply as I can You see, It’s not about what you’ve done, because of who I am And it matters not who you were, because of what I’ve done My actions reply to your thoughts, my deeds answer your questions. So Now no longer be ye of little faith , bear your cross and follow me this day for In my Father’s kingdom I have prepared a place don’t let these doubts and fears cause you to take your eyes away from me for with but a little faith you can walk on water and cast mountains into seas if ever you wonder if My love is great enough just remember the price I paid when I took hell on the cross that you might be saved. And I love you just as much now, as I did then My Love never changes, My love never ends.

I am junior in college working on a degree in psychology and also on Commissioning into the military as an officer.. Since I was a little kid I have always enjoyed writing but everyone in my family has always told me it would never be practical enough to sustain me and that I need to find something that pays bills. so I did, but I still love writing and enjoy it,which is why I enjoy this site so much. In the midst of all the boring practical stuff I'm always doing this site gives me the opportunity to take a break from all that and become the unpractical, fun, creative soul I once was.
