Remaining Love

Opening the door
Stepping out into it
Out in the darkness
Blinded with selfishness and sin
Still you remain

Dirty and bitter
Beaten and bruised
Turning my back
Putting you last
Still you remain

Confusion
Hate
Pride
Lies
Still You remain

Broken hearted cries
Guilt-ridden sobs
Remorseful tears
Too ashamed to turn to you
You still don't go
Still You remain

Knees buckling
Heart racing
Life breaking
Arms reaching
Still You remain

Catching
Holding
Forgiving
Loving
Still You love me. Still You want me. Still You believe in me. Still You remain
You will always remain
No greater love have I ever felt than Your unfailing, unfaltering, unrelenting
REMAINING LOVE.

Loved

I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't. I don't know who the original author is, but this is beautiful to me and speaks so much truth...i had to share....

I made her. She is different. She's unique. With love I formed her in her mother's womb. I fashioned her with great joy. I remember with great pleasure the day I created her.

(Psalm 139:13-16)

I love her smile. I love her ways. I love to hear her laugh and the silly things she says and does. She brings me great pleasure.

(Psalm 139:17)

I made her pretty and not beautiful, because I knew her heart and knew she would be vain. I wanted her to search out her heart and to learn it would be Me in her that would make her beautiful and would draw friends to her.

(I Peter 3:3-5)

I made her in such a way that she would need Me. I made her a little more lonesome than she would like to be, only because I want her to turn to Me in her loneliness. Only because I need for her to lean to and depend on Me. I know her heart. I know if I had not made her like this she would go her own way and forget about Me, her Creator.

(Psalm 62:5-8)

I have given her many good and happy things because I love her.

(Psalm 84:11 and Romans 8:32)


Because I love her, I have seen her broken heart and the tears she has cried alone. I have cried with her and had a broken heart too.

(Psalm 56:8)

Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone, only because she would not hold My Hand. So many lessons she has learned the hard way, because she would not listen to My Voice.

(Isaiah 53:6)

She is mine. I made her then I bought her because I love her.

(Romans 5:8)

I have to reshape and remold her, to renew in her what I want her to be. It has not been easy for her or for me.

(Jeremiah 29:11)

I want her to be conformed to My Image. This high goal I have set for her because I love her.

(2 Corinthians 2:14)
