Because I Love You
11/16-17/04, God as told to Carissa

I have taken your pain
I have felt blow for blow
There is nothing you do, that I don’t know.
Each time you cried, I was there,
I wanted to help, I really cared.
But you pushed me out, again and again
When I just wanted to love you and be your friend.
I was there to catch you when you fell,
But you would not love me, you just repelled.
For each tear you shed, I shed more.
For each time you heart was broken, I tore.
I was ready to help you, I was there.
But you wouldn’t let me, you didn’t care.
You said that I left, that I was never there
You said I didn’t love you and never really cared.
How wrong you were to believed such fallacies’, such lies.
For if, I did not love you, I never would have died.
I was with you each step of everyday,
Watching you push me out,
And then complain, cry and pout.
I was there when you needed me, but you were too blind to see.
That I loved you all along and I never left you,
I never could.
I love you too much and you are mine.
If I didn’t care, if I never loved you
I never would have taken your thorns on my brow,
Nails in my hands,
Sins on my back
I would have come down from that cross on that hill,
If I did not love you, I would not have been killed.
I would not have been beaten, flogged or whipped.
If I did not love you, I would not have carried the cross, stumbled, fell and tripped.
But I did all that, I did it all.
I took your pain, I caught your fall.
This is not a lie, yes, it is true.
Why?
Because I love you.

He gave that to me a couple days ago, as surprised as it may seem, I didn't cry, I rejoiced. In the faith restoring, peace bestowing, hope renewing love of a Savior.
Remember, if He didn't love you...
But the fact is - He does...
