Dear Lord

I had so much love in my heart but my heart was still so empty. I didn't want to tell you because I felt I had done something wrong or I did not try hard enough. On a day I turned to you, you said "it is ok I see you have tried but now let me guide you my child". You comforted me and gave me new hope and love to share, love like I never thought I could feel and then you showed me who needed my love. At times this new love felt binding though and I hurt not like before but because it was not coming free. Even though my heart was no longer empty I doubted what I was feeling, thinking I was wrong. It is at that time many walk away and say Lord why did you do this to me? Why did you take my hand down this path? Why did you put me thought this confusion and pain? I loved and gave; I did everything I was supposed to do! That's when the Lord replied. "You asked for love and I guided you, I didn't tell you to let go of my hand and give up, I was still working on it with you"...
