The Melodious

Do you ever have doubts about this. I confess that I don’t get it.

Why Do You Love Me? By Mike Palmer 2007

My words. It’s depressing to think these thoughts, but God I don’t know why you love me, I don’t know why you care, I’m not even sure how you can. Only you know how I’ve hurt you. Only you know how many times I’ve let you down. I could never deserve or earn your love, Nor could I ever gain your trust I am unreliable when it comes to maintaining a loving relationship, I only know how to use you.

God’s response. Your thoughts are not mine and maybe it is hard to understand, but do you understand how much you love your children even when they don’t think to reciprocate? I care more about you than anything I could ever own or create because I choose to. No matter how many times you believe you have failed, you are still my child and yes though you have let me down, I understand your weakness and I am not the one judging you now. It is true, you cannot earn my love; it is a gift to you that can only be received. I know what you are capable of and I entrust you with what I have given you, because I know who is inside you. Your perception of failure with reliability comes from your desire to perform, but my love is not based on performance and you can’t possibly maintain it, all you need to do is walk with me, I will instruct and empower you. You could never use me; when I give to you it is my choice not warranted by your actions.
