This Is Love

Life expands
Beyond imagination
When we can grasp
This single truth:
We are loved.
Not because of our deeds
Or our lack of doing -
But because
There is a God
Who loved us first -
Who called us worthy
Before we drew breath,
Before we did anything
Worthy of praise.
He is praiseworthy.
And He loves us because
He can,
Because it is in His nature
And because we are
His.
