Once I opened
my heart,
tentatively,
fearfully,
to the possibility
of His love,
I began then to be
pursued,
or had He always
been pursuing me?
And now my spiritual
eyes were opened
to His relentless
Love.

Never knowing that
I was loved
as a child.
Toemented instead,
emotional torment,
so trusting was
difficult.

But, oh how He
poured His love
into every aspect
of my life.
All relationships
changed and blossomed
into loves deep
unfolding.

So my Lover's pursuit
continues.
Everywhere, in waking
and sleeping.
His loving voice I
hear.
How did I live without
You, sweet Jesus?
I didn't!

Dear Ellie,
  In the arena of Love sometimes we are the persuers sometime we are the persued- sometimes we are both.  We are most blessed when we experience both- for to love & be loved is life's greatest experience--especially when it comes to Jesus.  A lovely offering here.   God Bless you Dear friend,

Ellie this is the essense of what God's love is, his persuing us, not religion where people persue what they think God requires. God desires fellowship with us, wanting all the things for us that are good for us, as a true loving relationship should be. Beautiful poem, the kind I always know I will find, when I see your name.

ellie, This is beautiful. I felt how much love you have for "sweet Jesus" as I read your poem. As I felt your love for Him, imagine only the angels singng praises unto Him because of this poem and your expression of love to Him  boldly penned. So humbling and loving.
Blessings,
Marcy

Very good Ellie!
Excellent poem! I love that question and answer, "How did I live without You, sweet Jesus?" "I didn't!" Thank-you for sharing this.
