Larger than my life,
my unanswered grey shadowed questions
disappear in your light.
Yet, I can’t understand
with a mind such as mine
how a God like you would care
for me.
You saw all the things
I contrived in my heart,
my excuses for wandering,
my idols,
my denial,
my ultimatum,
my back turned in defiance.
You saw before
I considered any of these
actions, these attitudes against you,
saw all that I was capable
of not being,
that I would fall.
You saw
the extent of what I was willing to do: my thoughts,
the extent of all that I would do: my actions.
And yet
this is who you love:
the me of yesterday is
as loved by you
as the me of today.
Today as I accept you, follow You, love you, praise You, Testify to you, glory in You, rejoice in You,
this me is loved no more
no less,
than the broken one, the fallen one, the rebellious one, the cursing and cursed one, the fleeing one, the hiding one, the ugly and defeated one.
That one and this one,
the two me’s, loved
equally
unequivocally
eternally,
by You.
You.
Immense One, glorious One, holy and pure One, all-knowing One, awesome One, gentle and loving One, forgiving and redeeming One, compassionate One, believing One, patient One,
One and only,
You.
My God
My Saviour
My Redeemer
You.
