When I remember 
the time I turned my back 
to You, 
my heart cries – 
it literally sheds
aching tears of 
desolation – despondency – despair, 
until I remember 
all the times You have welcomed me 
back to You, 
then my heart sings – 
it literally belts out 
joyous notes of 
redemption – recovery – relief. 

I ask myself then:
will I ever understand this enduring Love of Yours? 
And as It fills my whole being in remembrance, 
You answer me: 
“your understanding matters not, 
for My Love endures forever.”
