I love you, just as the Father
loves me, remain in my love
Lord, your first touch I have
lost, the love you showered upon me, I have lost.
But you never gave up on me, you
never let me go, you never let me out of your sight, you never let go of my
hand.. You were always there waiting for me, your prodigal daughter to return.
You constantly wished my return, and here I am Lord, the prodigal daughter has
returned to her Abba’s house, her Yahweh’s house, her true Lover’s house.
My Lord, I cannot explain the loneliness,
the lack of love, the emptiness I felt without you. I searched for
companionship and love in the midst of humans, in the midst of worldly
tangibles but nothing Lord, nothing filled this empty wine jar. It was barren
without the new wine of Canna, without your precious blood.
But Lord you never forsake me,
even in the midst of the darkest nights, when my sorrows and self-created
darkness swallowed me, you never let me go, and today you have answered me, you
have comforted me by your words..
“ I love you, like my Father
loves me, remain in my love.”
