SEPARATION

We walked together in the garden, you and I. We were so close then we could talk about anything together, we had no secrets.But one day I called you and you didn’t answer. I searched and searched and at last I found you, hiding, afraid. And now there was a barrier between us, your love had not been strong enough to resist temptation.

 

Still I loved you, my people, but as generation followed generation your sins piled up against you and the barrier became higher and higher. Soon you could not see over it.

 

Yet still I longed for you. I called and called but you could not hear me and could not see me.I sent my messenger to tell you how much I loved you, but you sent him back, the marks of nails in his hands and feet.

 

But he became the gate, the way through to me. The way will always be open.You only have to repent and to turn to me to know my forgiveness and my immeasurable love.
