God's Over-Flowing Love

I remember being your age, and at times it was impossible                                                                          To go it alone, but I always knew that I had PRAYERS.                                                                 
Through others, God was WHISPERING words of COURAGE                                                              And INSPIRATION. I did not always realize it, but they were         
REFLECTIONS Of God's LOVE. HOME was always within                                                reach, and God's HEALING hands were always outstretched.
                                                                                                                                                   
Although I am certain that someday,                                                         you will see, I haven't the slightest                                                           idea when that time will be. But when                                                           it happens, you will surely remember me                                                                                                           And the words of eternal truth that I speak.
You will recall how I tried to spare you of                                                    
the pain; to give you an umbrella and bring                                               you in out of the rain; to show you how to                                          
navigate life and have one that sings.                                                                                    

Presently, you see the straight and narrow line that's                                  too foggy for you. It's God's universal line drawn in the                            sands of time for all of us. It's that unchangeable line that                           
currently makes you feel restricted and bound sometimes.                                    

O, my dear and precious one, I know it's true that I must be                   strong and find a way to step aside and get out of your way.           Sometimes, I am more than a little PASSIONATE. But I know                       the time has come that I must let you go, even though it                          pains me greatly to do so.                                                  

Just a few months ago, you turned 20, and later I heard                             
you say for the first time. "I'm grown and know what                                     
I am doing". Let me live my life my way", you said.                                                                                                                       

Just remember when that day comes, and it surely will.                                                                                             
Like ocean waves rushing to the shores at high tides,                                  my HEART will always be near to rush to the sandy                              beaches of your heart. And I will be here for you,                                       not to say that I told you so. But from the heart                                           of God and mine, His love will flow.
