therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” Jeremiah 31:3b
and just like that,
in case we miss it
the first time (or more), you whisper,
‘my love for you never fades.’
it won’t turn away, even when we do,
it won’t walk away, when we doubt.
it will just be
as patient as we need, and more,
weaving grace like a shawl around us
in every moment of our lives.
you see our worst, and still love,
you watch us chase after fools
and wait faithfully until we come back.
for you, it is not a burden or obligation,
simply that love which delights you.
so
today, tomorrow, whenever,
may we rest in holy wonder
that even before we ever think
of loving you,
you love us.
