A Love Worth Dying For

We don’t need to earn forgiveness;

it was a gift

paid by the blood

of a love worth dying for.



A love we do not deserve,

A love between a Father

and child.



A love that is at times

one-sided;

a parent’s unconditional

and unrequited love.



We cannot find a comparable love

on this hateful planet;

there is only One who

loves us like we need to be loved.



We can search all our lives

and not find what we’re looking for

until we stop and receive

the love that was there all along

in our hearts waiting for us to call His name.
