Conditioned on Nothing
Your love surrounds me
It's unknown to me

I've done nothing to recieve it
Nothing to keep it
Nothing to sustain it

You simply love me

I live in a world
Where love is taken back
as easily as it's given
but your love for me
is always constant

It never requires anything
If I ignore it
it's still there
If I leave it
when I return
It's even better than before

Your love warms my mind
seeps into my heart
and rest in the billows of my soul

Your love is incomprehensible to me
I can't understand it
I want to mimic it

But I'm flawed

Even when I hurt you
Your love sweeps me up
In arms that never loosen its grip

I want my small mind to comprehend
Living in this world the way it is
I've never seen a love like this

It's a joy I can't capture in a smile
a release I can't exhale in a breath
a song hummed in assured silence

It engulfs the most insignificant parts of me
For this, my humility is shamed in it's content
of who YOU are and why YOU have chosen me

Lord I love You
My praise seems unworthy because of who you are
Yet will I lift my hands
My voice
My heart, my soul...in my smallness will I continually praise You...yes I Love You, yes I love You

Dear Sister, I have missed seeing your talented writing. You are blessed and a blessing to so, so many of us... more than you know. What a beautiful praise! I am reminded of the man who beat his chest and cried, "I am a sinner" and went home more justified than the other. And yet, what glory, what honor this "small submission" brings to our King as it speaks of the wonder of His love. Is it not the most beautiful thing ever? And for you, dear Sister -- Eye has not seen nor ear heard the GOOD THINGS the Lord has prepared for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose... YOU dear friend... YOU. (By the way, I tried to respond to your e-mail a few days ago and I was, disappointedly, greeted with an error message in return.)

This is inspiring and well-written. Just a few comments:
"Unkown" s/b "unknown"; in the line: In arms that never loosen it's grip - should read "their grip" for tense agreement. Is the last line my heart instead of my hear? Truly I do like this very much because it speaks simply of His love for us.
