Your Love Is What I Crave
May 12, 1994
R. I sought and I searched. I tried to find relief from the pain. I loved through my kids and wanted their love back. I tried to be loved by someone, and no one was ever there. Oh, Lord, in desperation I came to You and cried at Your feet. You sat so patiently with me. You loved me each time I came and I found peace, peace and love that no one else had!
When I left You, I cried because no one gave to me as You did. Now, Lord, I know no one can give me what I crave, my soul craves You! I long for Your love. You are so gentle, so loving, so kind, so full and always there, Lord, no matter how I am upset, happy, whatever. You love me just the same. Who am I to know this love!
Jesus, Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all, how can I love You as I ought?
Jesus: Love for Me, My child. This is how you love Me: what you do to the least of your brothers you do to Me. Walk in My ways. When they persecute you and holler at you, love them, love them, love them. You are learning about love, child. Do not give way to anger and hate and guard your tongue always. This is the way you receive Me. Guard that spot, make it holy, do not cast stones at your brothers. Always love them.
R. My God, I seek You. My soul thirsts for You. Your love is finer than life.
