                              I Am Love

   Lord, when I was young, You saw me. You saw my days the way You 
   designed them and You saw that I would stray. 

   You saw my sin that resided within, and I know it made You weep. I 
   have no words to tell You, but can only show You in my heart, the 
   sorrow that I had come to know because of being apart. This longing 
   that I have come to know is the longing that brings me here. For my 
   heart craves to know You in greater depth and sings when You are 
   near.  

My Child...Yes, I see all your days and know of their number. I see 
that you had different plans than from what I had originally created 
for you, but I also knew how to bring you to Myself. I knew you would 
come. Yes, I saw your sin. I saw you when you were selfish. I saw you 
when you were angry. I saw you when you were unkind. I saw you when 
you hurt. I saw all of your pain and yes, I did weep.

I have seen all your days, child, and that is why I sent My Son. I 
sent My Son, so that you could learn of Me through His precious blood. 
It was He who would show you your sin in ways that you could understand. 
You have found His love, and this is the same love that flows though 
into your veins. My seed has been deposited in you, and that is why 
your heart yearns for Me. 

Whenever you step away from Me, you step away from My love. Remember
that I made you to love. I am love. This is the yearning that you feel 
from the deepest parts from within you. This is the very substance of 
who I am.

Keep drawing near to Me, and you will behold My love in all of My 
fullness and glory. It is what I wanted for you from the very 
beginning.

I am well pleased child, with your yearning for Me, for this is My 
design.
