Unseen Wounds

Beloved…

(pause)

I see you.

I see the way you run to the very things that break you.

I see the way you keep your distance,

as if My presence is a punishment.

You wound Me…

not with nails this time,

but with your silence

when I call your name.

Yet I remain faithful…

(pause)

For I cannot deny Myself. (2 Timothy 2:13)

I have loved you

with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3)

Before I formed you in the womb,

I knew you. (Jeremiah 1:5)

You are Mine.

And nothing can change that.

You hurt Me because you don’t believe My love is enough.

But listen —

My grace is sufficient for you,

and My power is made perfect in your weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Come to Me…

all you who are weary,

all you who are burdened,

and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

I will take your scarlet sins

and wash them white as snow. (Isaiah 1:18)

I will give you a new heart

and a new spirit. (Ezekiel 36:26)

Nothing —

not death,

not life,

not angels,

not demons,

not the present,

not the future,

not any power in this world or beyond —

will separate you from My love. (Romans 8:38–39)

So return to Me.

Even if you turn away a thousand times…

(pause)

I will be here,

every time you turn back.

I am the same yesterday,

today,

and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

And nothing…

nothing…

will ever make Me stop loving you.”*
