Lord, I cannot do it!
I cannot love like you!
I’ve tried.
I just can’t do it.
I can’t.
Lord, help me.
I want to love like you
As You, Father God, love me.
With arms wide open
Rushing to welcome me
Giving me the biggest hug
Silently letting me know
I am accepted
All is forgiven
All the past forgotten.
You more than forgive me
You completely restore me
Bless me
Reinstate me, your child
Your offspring of love
Your heir of riches
You restore me to my rightful place.
But more
Much, much more.
You lavish on me gifts
An abundance of food, clothing
Symbols of acceptance.
By such forgiving love
I am overwhelmed
Overcome
Lost in the wonder
The extravagance of your love.
Lord,
I ask for love like that.
Unconditional, perfect love
Your love.
Giving love.
May that love fill my heart and overflow
So that your richer, deeper, fuller, divine love
May overflow, touch and embrace
My family, friends
Even enemies.
All those around me.
My love cannot do it
Only Your love, Lord God, in me
Filling my heart
Spilling over
Outpouring
Can forgive
Forget
Love as you love.
I cannot do it.
You, Lord, can.
Come, Lord, fill me with Your fullness
My heart
My mind
My soul
My all
To overflowing
For Your glory, honour and praise.
Amen.
