He loves us with unfailing love; the LORD’S faithfulness endures forever. Praise the LORD! (Psalm 117:2; NLT).
Yahweh, do you love me despite who I am,
Or because of who I am,
Or just as I am?
Do you love me because you are within me,
Or because Jesus is within me,
Or because your Holy Spirit is within me?
Do you love me because you made me,
Or because you maintain me,
Or because you can take back my soul at any moment?
Ah! You show me that your love
Is not a case of either/or:
You love me for all these reasons,
And because I am part of you,
And because I am one with you,
And because you are Love.
I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee (Hosea 11:9; BST).
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them (1 John 4:16; NLT).
