Me: Jesus i cant love people who treat me like i dont exist.
Jesus: I did
i have loved them from afar with an agony so acute that i became flesh just at the thought that they might fall away.
i have waited with a patience that stripped me bare
that flogged me until i should have died
i laugh at your thoughts
its a gentle laugh
I laugh because youre ignorant
long suffering?
No one can imagine my suffering.
your feeble attempts would be an insult if they did not contain your own experiences.
yes, you have suffered
suffered in a blunted sanded dull way
but later, i will remove my grace
and you can, if you desire, experience the suffering i have so lovingly kept you from.
there is no suffering like separation.
dont you know?
Thats why i came to restore.
i came to restore.
i came to restore.
you cannot carelessly mend
you can not carelessly search for the pieces.
i will guide your fingers to the broken edges
i will carry you through the water
and through the flames
just for the slivers
of hope for restoration
can you open your eyes
talitha koum
wake up little girl
i will give you eyes to see the broken pieces
will you find them for me?
Will you?
Will you?
