The Power Of Love to Connect the Disconnected

I grew up desiring to be loved, but never feeling anyone cared,
Not even my own parents.

I longed for the love of a parent, to feel that security
To be a part of a family who loved me.

At times I have felt so disconnected; have tried to find a way to connect.
Even then I just couldn’t feel what I thought I should feel.

Don’t know if you have ever been there but I have.
It use to be a lonely place. Sometimes I would cover it up in drugs and alcohol
because I felt so lonely.

I truly thought I was doomed to live like that forever.
But then something wonderful happened.I desired to know and I asked.
The revelation of that hour changed the course of my life.

Before I just complained about where I was. A day came where I actually asked to see, to know. What happened that day set me on a course to seek, to thirst after something I had only heard of but never understood.

Today is a day like I have never seen before. It is truly amazing.
Because He is amazing.I was reading about his love for Israel
today and my heart was stirred to tears.

I saw my life like Israel and how rebellious and hard hearted I was.
And in spite of who I had become He loved me through his son who gave his life for me.
