Our
Relationship
by
Barbara Philbrook
Our
relationship must be based on what I tell you not on what
you think you see,
I have given you the gift of faith and that is the way I
meant it to be.
Faith is
the belief in things hoped for the evidence of things not
seen,
and I expect that our relationship be on my terms not on
what other gifts you glean.
I sent my
Holy Spirit to draw you close to my heart,
I've shown you how much I love you and have promised that
I shall never depart.
Being
loved unconditionally was your deepest most dire need,
and I've given that and so much more to you and yet I so
often hear you as you cry and plead.
You
worry that there is some special gift you are
lacking one more gift you must get,
that you will somehow fall short and not measure up if
your request is not met.
How can I
convince you that you must take me at my word,
the need that you think that you have is absolutely
absurd.
Jesus is
the way that deliverance is received by man,
this is the purpose behind the making of the salvation
plan.
Salvation
is a gift it is offered absolutely for free,
our relationship is the association the closeness that is
developed between you and me.
Can you
trust can you take me at my word,
can our relationship be developed on the faith I've
provided you or does it have to be proved by things you
have heard.
Our
relationship that which transpires way deep in your heart
where no one else can see,
is something that is personal and private something
between you and me.
There's no
need to prove it's existence nor for you to tell others
what we share,
but you may reveal it's existence so that others
may know how deeply and sincerely I care.
