Even the love I have for Him came from His Hand. Without the creation of this heart, mind, soul, Spirit and strength, I could not love Him as I do. Without showing me the purpose, strength, elasticity and depth of love itself, I would not know the first step in loving anyone, including myself. Without loving me when I was unworthy of attention, never mind love, He demonstrated to me the ideal that Love has no conditions and it blossoms to its ripest tones when given at that moment of disfavor or disobedience. Without His firm hand of Loving discipline within my life I never would have transformed from the hopeless carnal character I had consoled myself to destiny. Without the creation of Love I would be alone without cause, purpose, safety, solace or accord.

This life is simple for me, I just continue to walk that direction. The direction of the light that shines ahead telling me, bidding me remain on the skinny path. Even when I fall from the stonepads of the pathway, I am either gently helped back up or forced back to him by the pressures of this drastic, evil, powerful character group that have been designed for that purpose. I eat food that I bought with the money He gave my by either using the back He gave me or the brain that He gave me to earn it. I wash it down with the water He invented to quench my terrible thirst that He put in my making to tell me when my body required liquid. I don’t want to do disservice to this ideal by belaboring the point.

All that I am is easy to be because He made me what I am. I am not using that as an excuse rather as a Praise because you know what although, I tire of this world’s frailty, mortality and consistent departure from the love of God, I do so enjoy the life that He has given to me. Breathing is a blessing, watching butterflies, kids, rockets, games and science is an astounding experience. Smelling barbecue, lillies, grass, wheat and the smelly dog, remind me of days when I really felt loved by all. The tastes of snowy winter and the bite of cold upon my neck and fingers taught me to prepare and hope for spring. These are the days for which I was intended to stare into the promised future offered by Almighty God, resound and confirmed in the Love I have for Him that always brings me right back to the foot of His Throne. I love you for loving me Lord, without which I would have never known.
