LOVE A four letter word Possibly one of the smallest words in the dictionary Yet has the greatest impact on one's life When I think of you I think of the very essence of love Love in its most authentic and purest form For twenty eight years I never experienced a love without hurt My definition of love was warped And as a result I was ruined Then I met you I met you in pieces I met you in the very pieces That originally belonged to you That were abused and ruined By those who were also abused and ruined Distraught depressed angry lost and upset with the world And everything in it because my heart was broken I cried to you I ran to you I yearned for you I heard you were a Savior and I needed saving I heard you were a Waymaker And I needed a way out of the pit I had been buried in I heard you were a Redeemer And I needed to be redeemed And I heard in you I had an identity That was a gold mine to one with low self esteem With nothing left in me I called your name Jesus And I breathed my last breath Then you reached down from on high And took hold of me You breathed life in my dry bones And drew me out of deep waters You rescued me from my powerful enemies Who buried me in the ground And brought me into a spacious place Because you delighted in me You gave me a hope and a future to look forward to And revealed to me my identity in you And you showed me a love I'd never known Yet it was everything that I needed You gave love a new meaning And its true definition Love is patient Love is kind It does not envy It does not boast it is not proud It is not rude it is not self-seeking It is not easily angered It keeps no record of wrongs Love never fails Love is God Love is laying down your life voluntarily And though you can pick it up at any time You choose not to Because love is the Atonement for the sins of those you love most Your people your bride your church So to my First Love Jesus thank you For being everything that I needed you to be When I needed you to be it Thank you that though I saw a sinner and a pile of ruins You saw the love of your life And you showed me great mercy and compassion Although thank you isn't enough Know that I am forever in your debt Love Your Beloved
