created us
and for a little while we enjoyed the relationship
but then we rebelled against His influence,
we let temptation rule
we sinned.
God's love
sought us
and for a little while we enjoyed the attention
but then we pursued personal desires
and our actions grieved Him greatly.
God's love
saved us
and for a little while we enjoyed the security
but then we desired more and bigger and greater
and all we had was never enough.
God's love
healed us
and for a little while we enjoyed restored health and well-being
but then we denied His touch and His instruction
and we fell.
God's love
follows us
precedes us
surrounds us
and where are we?
Even as believers in Christ
we fail
None are perfect
We make errors in judgment
in anger
Don't say you don't
Don't say you live a perfect life.
You do not.
Only Jesus is
The Perfect One.
God's love
took His Son to the cross
and for a little while He was separated
from His Father as He gave His life
for the sins of me and you.
God's love
buried us
and for a little while we too are separated
from Him
but then Jesus rose from the dead,
and with Him, we too rise
to newness of life.
Pursuing as He pursues,
living as He lives
is our hope.
