There is a new depth of love that I still don’t fully understand but I do appreciate.

Love goes on – it creeps up from the tons of tears placed on it –

It floats to the top from the flood of fear and frustrations;

Anger and resentment have shown themselves as mere fertilizer for love.

Love is a lifestyle virtually impossible to destroy – and God forgive me how I have tried.

Man cannot control it – though he tries.

I blew it once (yes, once, can you believe that?).

But, God still loved me.

When I was eating at another’s table

When my thoughts were a million miles away

When others told me they saw what I could not see

When my imagination surrendered to the passions of charm and whispering and winking

When my lips were wet with desire

When I was lost, sinful, wicked, and conscious of my thoughtless ways

God still loved me.

I don’t thank God for allowing me to go through those dreadful days.

But, I do thank Him for loving me through them

Therefore, showing me an even greater depth of His love.
