Completely, Perfectly, Thoroughly
Today, I wrote a poem about God’s love. God loves me completely, perfectly, and thoroughly. Because God’s love is perfect, He can never love me more than He does in this very moment. And, because God doesn’t change, and He is love, He can never love me less than He does right now.
My Poem
This Very Moment You love me. In this very moment, You love me. God of the Universe, Creator of all things, Loves me. Personally, and intimately Loves me. You’ll never love me more Than in this very moment. And nothing I will ever do Will cause you to love me less. You love me, In this very moment, And all my other moments, too. You love me perfectly, I know that you do. I long for eternity. I long to love like you do. You love me. And I try, And try, As best as I can, To love you with all my heart, And love you with all soul, And all my strength and mind. I try to love you. And I love you, In this very moment. Love you, Because you love me, In this very moment. You love me. And you loved me, First.

1 – God loves me.
2 – God doesn’t change.
3 – No matter what is going in my life right now, I know God loves me.
4 – God will still love me tomorrow.

We love you, Father God, with all that is in us. And it’s in Jesus’s name that we pray.
