God's love is like that

Love asks us to enjoy our life

For nothing good can come of death.

Who is alive? I ask.

Those who are born of love.

Seek us in love itself,

Seek love in us ourselves.

Sometimes I venerate love,

Sometimes it venerates me.”

― Rumi

Sometimes God

I spend a lot of time worrying about

my love for you

Do I love you enough?

does my love show

am I living up to your expectations for me

am I following your will?

Ah but then

I remember being a parent

and how

even when my children drove me crazy

with their behavior

their words

how even when I was at my most frustrated

I loved them

I just did

there was (and is) nothing I can do about that

I am always

Simply

their biggest fan

God, as I look at Jesus

I suspect

your love is something like that….

Thank you

Amen
