as long as I love him

Avery Point


strangely comforted by these words

I've listened to the stories of the people  
about how Jesus revealed himself to them
and I shared mine 

all of a sudden 
Jesus in the stories of the people  
comes alive in me 
as Jesus in the gospel
he's real

it's true
he promised

all these years 
to all these people
he's been fulfilling his promise 
because they were in love with him

maybe that's the source of my comfort 
I have his promise 
I will be loved by him 
and loved by God
and he will continue to reveal himself to me 
as long as I love him

what an honor
