I've spent so much time searching
Spinning in circles
Looking for ways out
Of suffering
I found quick fixes
That didn't actually fix anything

But I needed to be unravelled
Touched on the inside,
Because I felt unloved
and I was lost
Expending so much energy
trying to be found,
All the while
God's love was available to me
I just had to take hold of it

Words fail
to describe
the subtle essence
of knowing
that I am loved
by an infinite God

This warmth
like liquid gold
Pools up in me
As I ponder
Over this newly discovered truth

Knowing now
that I no longer have to
Chase down this love I've craved for all my life
in people
That I have it right here, right now
And all I have to do
Is bow my head in prayer
Or open my Bible
to have access to this love

But eventually
This love begins to
spill forth beyond the parameters
of routine prayer and
bible reading
Opening your spiritual eyes
to see
All of God's creation
singing glory
to His majesty

And your heart
Begins to experience
An insatiable yearning
to tell others
About God's kind of love
Hoping and praying
That one day,
Just like you
When the moment is right,
When their heart has softened just enough
And their mind's strict
sense of reality
is thrown off balance
due to the unexpected,
Then maybe,
they'd give this almost ludicrous concept
of a God who loves them so much
that he came to this earth
to die for all of humanity
a chance....
And maybe, just maybe
They'll be able to experience
God's kind of love
for themselves.
