Love… Just Because

It’s your smile and laughter.

It’s your kindness and care.

It’s the joy you bring to my heart and life.

You love… just because.

 

It’s your blessings and favor.

It’s the mysteries you unfold.

It’s the deepest part of your heart and spirit you give unconditionally.

You love… just because.

 

It’s the gift of prayer I turn to.

It’s the gift of your Word that says, “I am not alone.”

It’s everything else.

You love… just because.

 

It’s when problems pile up.

It’s when pressures mount.

It’s your strength for my struggles.

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”   *

You love… just because.

 

I ask.

I seek.

I knock at the door of your heart.

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”   **  

You love… just because.

 

It’s because of your guidance.

It’s because of your direction.

It’s because you give through love with compassion and with an open hand and heart.

I love… just because of you.

 

Daily, praying for your grace, Lord,

I pray these words to those who may read.

Listen.

His whisper you will hear.

God, you are love.

 

You love… just because.
