COME TO ME

Posted By mindsinger1 on November 14, 2008

My child,

I have loved you with an awesome

and a mighty love.

Before the foundations of the earth

were laid,

before the singing suns

rose in the dawning of time,

I knew you.

My little child,

you are the most precious of my

possessions.

I love you beyond the height or depth

of your understanding.

My joy and my delight are in you,

and the wonder in your eyes

echoes the ceaseless, ever-renewing

surge of my creativity.

You were made for the Heavens;

to walk unshackled through eternity

and to walk by my side.

Come to me, your Creator,

your sustainer,

your Father.

Step into my kingdom.

Enter now the place I have prepared for you.

Embark upon that royal road

that begins in this life,

and continues beyond eternity!

My little one,

as I have loved you in this shadowed world,

as I have delighted in your presence,

laughed and wept with you,

so will I love you in that place

where shadows are swallowed up in joy!

And there I will gently draw the mist from your eyes,

the veil from your understanding,

and you will grasp in reality

what you now hold in faith.

Child,

here you have given me trust and love

and obedience.

There, I will surround you with my presence

and place in your hands

the Morning Star!
