We don’t need to earn forgiveness;
it was a gift
paid by the blood
of a love worth dying for.
A love we do not deserve,
A love between a Father
and child.
A love that is at times
one-sided;
a parent’s unconditional
and unrequited love.
We cannot find a comparable love
on this hateful planet;
there is only One who
loves us like we need to be loved.
We can search all our lives
and not find what we’re looking for
until we stop and receive
the love that was there all along
in our hearts waiting for us to call His name.
