Our Savior

Easter is right around the corner...here is a poem I wrote about Christ's love for us! Enjoy!

As He knit you together in your mother's womb,
He first loved you.

As the doctor delivered you into your mother's arms,
He first loved you.

As your tiny hand gripped your father's finger and you gazed into your mother's eyes,
He first loved you.

When you stumbled and fell; as you felt pain enter your heart for the first time,
He first loved you.

With each step, new discovery, and newfound adventure,
He first loved you.

In your friendships and heartbreaks; achievements and disappointments,
He first loved you.

In all your joy, hopes and dreams; through every victory,
He first loved you.

Through the abuse, addictions, depression, anger, anxiety, and brokenness,
He first loved you.

In your trials and tribulation; your fears and doubts,
He first loved you.

With each love of your life, the losses of life; in marriage and divorce,
He first loved you.

As you grow old in this life and wonder as the time flies by,
He first loved you.

Before He created the heavens and the earth; in this life and the next,
He first loved you.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength; because He first loved you!
