OVERWHELMING LOVE

Post by Augusta Ezema »

As the moon shone and the wind caused the trees to dance,
I sat on my rocking chair just beside the window
Looking through my lenses,
I gazingly searched the sky
Until I found the one
Just the one for me.
He was present
But I just couldn't see Him
I felt Him smile at me
Yet I couldn't see His face
Then I saw this little bird
I observed as it sang with a sweet melody and its eyes shut
It's wonderful humming struck me deep and across my heart
I shut my eyes and memories of my awful past swept in
They were played like a movie in my subconscious mind
Tears began to drip down my eyes
As I remembered all the times I had wronged my lover
I sobbed
Times I had treated Him as though the sacrifices He made for me weren't just enough
Spat on the face, garments torn and shared among men
Betrayed, bruised, forsaken, despised and rejected
Nailed on the cross
All because of His love for me
PURE LOVE FOR ME
Yet I offended Him
I screamed from the depth of my heart
With the little energy I had in me
My heart full of regrets
My words were 'LORD, I AM SORRY'
Sorry for all my sinful acts and ever doubting His existence
Then a mighty wind blew across me
And I felt a hand touch my shoulder
And spoke to me with quiet words
Full of assurance
His words were' YOU ARE FORGIVEN FOR IT WAS FOR THIS CAUSE I LAID DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU'
I opened my eyes and searched for him
But the room was empty
Just me present
It was then I realised that something wonderful had happened just beyond my understanding and greater than my tears
Now I know He isn't just beside me
I felt His presence closer than that of a friend
And I knew He was right inside of me
Overwhelmed with joy and peace, I knew there was hope for me
Hope to make it right with my first lover
JESUS IS HIS NAME
His love for me knows no bounds
