Having not posted anything for ages, I thought it was about time to get back into 'aboutlife-ing'!  I came across this in an old parish magazine from a small church in Farnham and thought it was just right for Easter weekend, and is good for us to be reminded of this sometimes!

'Since He is wise He loves you with wisdom
Since He is good He loves you with goodness
Since He is holy He loves you with holiness
Since He is just He loves you with justice
Since He is merciful He loves you with mercy
Since He is compassionate and understanding
He loves you with gentleness and sweetness
He loves you with the greatest humility and the deepest respect
He joyfully reveals his face to you saying,
I am yours, completely yours
And my happiness is to be who I am
so that I may give myself to you and be all yours.'

(from 'An Anthologyof the Love of God' by Joyce Huggett)
