Why does your love
fluctuate according to
the effort I put into
my studies?
Why is it that
I should seek to do
my best in all that I do
even in a seemingly
meaningless worksheet
that does not interest me
in the slightest?
Why is shouting and screaming
your best resource to
persuade and ‘motivate’ me
to do your bidding?
Do you really think
I only respond to
your fiery threats and stares?
You preach about the
importance of perseverance,
long suffering and patient,
but your actions are anything but!
Should not your love be
unconditional and enduring?
I desire to be loved for who I am
not what I can do or become.
I desire to know if your love
towards me is
unfailing and unchangeable.
I seek after the freedom
of the knowledge that
I am your beloved regardless.
Can you love me like the way
God loves us?
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?… No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:35, 37-39 NLT
