Romans 5:5

God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

To you, precious

Child of God,

to you, who are

kept awake

at night,

to you, who know

that the monsters

in your dreams

frequently follow

you through to

your waking hours,

to you, precious

Child of God,

to you, who are

hungry,

to you who are

tired,

to you, who have

been thrown

into the shadows

and forced

to live

in the darkness,

to you, precious

Child of God,

I say,

when one of us

suffers,

all of us suffer,

and so,

I will sit with you.

I will kneel with you.

I will take your hand.

  

I will speak up

when the chaos

of the world

threatens to silence

your voice.

I will love you,

precious Child

of God,

with a Jesus-love,

as best I can,

because we are

better than this.

God has not

given us

hearts hardened

by fear.

No, precious Child

of God,

He has poured

His love

into our hearts.

His love.

His love

powers us.

His love

moves us.

Let His love

move

all of us.

For we are all

precious Children

of God.

Amen.
