From the Beginning

From the very moment I first thought of you
I loved you,
I longed to give you a life you’d enjoy
And bless you with your heart’s desires

As your life began I looked over you
Protecting you from harm,
I shaped you into the person you’ve become
And have given you unique attributes,
That make up who you are

I can give you a handful of reasons
Why you are the wonderful person you are
To give you one, I hand-crafted you
I didn’t randomly pick; I chose each and every part of you

Whether you believe it or not
You bring tears to my eyes when you sin,
Because it pulls you away from me
Oh, how I long for you to be close to me

The things that bring you joy
Also bring a smile to my face
When I see one on yours
After all, your mine

My child I have so much for you
Your deepest hopes and dreams I know
For I put them in your heart
To carry out the purpose in which I planned

When I made you
I put gifts and talents in you that would later be discovered,
There is so much purpose in you
Why do you question that?

I want you to know
All I want is the best for you
You are so precious in my eyes,
And I will never leave you

As you embrace each day
I’m anxious to be with you
To hear you pour your heart out to me
I love you

Every day I try to get your attention
Whether its paint to the sky in myriads of color
Or have someone tell you, I love you
I want to be in your life

I stand waiting
Won’t you come to me
I have loved you with an everlasting love,
Ever since the beginning.
