Why do we search high and low,
Only to find nothing?
Why do we travel far and wide
Only to get lost?
Why do we gift and give
Only to be used and stolen from?
Why do we give our bodies willingly
Only to feel shame right after?
Why do we lie to avoid getting in trouble
Only to be punsished worse?
Why do we long for something new
Only to miss that which was old?
Why do we clean ourselves off
Only to get ***** again?
Why do we do anything
Only to know its all for naught?

Let me ask you this then.

Why does a God search high and low
For someone who isn't looking for Him?
Why does a God travel far and wide
To find someone who is lost
Why does a God gift and give
To those who only ask and take?
Why does a God uncover the faces
Of those who feel the most shame?
Why does a God sit with those who lie
Knowing full well they are lying to His face?
Why does a God grow jealous
When we pursue something new?
Why does a God sacrifice His son
To wash us clean of our sin?

Why?
After all we do...
Why?
Love is the reason why.
He loves you.
