• My child, Once loved,

    You are My darling, Once loved. I wove you together with My own two hands, breathed My life into your own body. You ate the fruit that was My love. The rose I plucked for you was every beautiful moment I would share with you. The very water you drank was the blood in My body that flows only for you.

    Once loved, you took all I had created for you and traded it for a fake romance. You turned from Me, took the deadly curse that was Dishonesty. You turned your back on Me, tasted the bitter fruit and told yourself it was delicious. You were lying to yourself, Once loved, you and I both know that now.

    Once loved, you stole the breath of another. You traded My water for Jealousy. The very thing I hate, you took as an act of rebellion against Me. Why do you hate me so, Once loved? You were, are, always will be My life, and yet you throw my gifts away like the trash you are consuming instead.

    Once loved, you stole my rose and handed it to another. You took on Lust, threw away the fake love for yet another. You stole his breath and now you're going for another. Will you never be satisfied?

    Once loved, you consumed the poison of Worldly Possessions. You made a wall between us with magazines, unholy items and more fake love. Why must you crush My life between your fingers as if I were a mere bug? I created you, Once loved, and now you're throwing away all I've given you.

    Once loved, you were consumed by the world, left to die in the gutter of your mind. You gained Rage, Once loved, the most horrid of them all. You took all the pain you gained from your experiences and threw them back in My face, blaming Me for all that you did. I am weeping for you, child. Not from My own brokenness and pain, but for yours. You deserve much better than what you've taken on.

    Once loved, you are bitter and broken beyond repair. You fall down on your knees and cry out for Me, but everything you've taken from the world is blocking your ears from My frantic replies.

    Once loved, you've fallen into the dust with beautiful tears surrounding your lovely face. Your lovely, broken and shattered body is laying there now. I am watching, Once loved, watching that bottle that is quiverring on your temple.

    Once loved, I am screaming to you, as you are screaming to me. You let everything fall away, ready to believe in Me once again. I peel the Rage and Confusion away from your arms, releaving your arms of the shackles that kept you away from Me. Once loved, you are sobbing. I can see it, child. You can't hide it from Me.

    Once loved, I am embracing you and assuring you. You can hear Me now, everything is washed away. You tremble in My arms, ashamed and scared, yet you accept My Healing and Grace in replacement for all the wicked things of the world. You are healed now, Forever loved; even though you saught it in all those other outlets, I am the only one that can do this for you. Ask and it will be granted, child. Do not be afraid of Me.

    Forever loved, you are My child. I love you forever and always, no matter what loads you take on. Whenever you are ready for Me, I will sweep you off your feet toward a quiet place. You will be able to repair yourself with my help.

    Day by day, you may return to the world, but I will always be here. Never forget Me, Forever loved, for you are My child, created from Me and drank My water. You will never be left alone for one minute.

    Always and forever,
    Your Loving Father.
