But Then

Folder: 
Divine Revelation

I rejected you

because I thought 

I was undeserving.

 

I turned from you

because I couldn't

see your blessings.

 

I hated you 

for becoming silent

when I cried out.

 

I despised you

for bringing me

to my knees. 

 

But then...

 

You sought me

when I was furthest

from your grace.

 

You called me

out of darkness

into your glorious light. 

 

You wanted me;

your desire was for me

to know your love.

 

You chose me

as your child,

adopted into your family.
