"I THOUGHT OF YOU "

BY TREADA

I HAVE BEEN CALLING, YET YOU DO NOT ANSWER

I HAVE KNOCKED, YET YOU DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR

I HAVE WRITTEN YOU LOVE LETTERS, WITH PSALMS OF POETRY

YET I HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY.

DO YOU NOT KNOW, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

HOW MUCH I CARE. YOU WHOSE HEART SHINES UNTO ME LIKE UNTO THE MOST PRECIOUS JEWEL IN THE BOUNTY OF MY FATHERS TREASURE CHEST.

MY CHOSEN ONE DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT WHEN I WAS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE I WAS SORROWFUL FOR WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH. MY TEARS FELL AS GREAT DROPLETS OF BLOOD.

THEN MY FATHER BROUGHT YOU TO MIND AND IT STRENGTHENED ME TO CARRY ON.

DO YOU KNOW THAT I COULD HAVE ASKED OF MY FATHER AND HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS CUP FROM BEFORE ME.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY ARRESTED ME AND CAST ME UNTO PRISON AND I WAS DENIED DELIVERANCE AND THEY RELEASED ANOTHER INSTEAD AND CHEERED FOR ME TO BE CRUCIFIED.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY TORE INTO MY FLESH WITH THE WHIP.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY TAUNTED ME AND SPAT UPON ME.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY THRUST THE CROWN OF THORNS UPON MY HEAD.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS I DRUG THE CROSS TO CALVARY. I THOUGHT OF YOU AD THEY NAILED MY HANDS AND FEET TO THE CROSS. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHES. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY BLOOD RAN DOWN TO THE GROUND. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS I DIED THERE ALONE ON THE CROSS.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY OWN, MY GIFT FROM MY FATHER.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, AND AS I LOVE YOU SO DOES MY FATHER......

PS

I HAVE GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU

I SHALL RETURN SOON

UNTIL THEN OCCUPY

 LOVE ALWAYS

 JOHN 3:16
