You Have Loved Me, O God

Dear God,

You have loved me, when I cannot love You yet
You have loved me, when I did not love you enough
You have loved me, when I was running away from You
You have loved me even though you know I will not be able to return
the love You gave to me.

I have been blinded by the world around me yet You have loved me
I have been so concerned with my endless needs and issues but you have been loving me
I have not responded to Your calls and invites but You have loved me
You have been loving me all those times that I take no heed of all the things
You have been doing to me.

You have loved me though I cannot put up with your laws and commandments
You have loved me when I don't even know how to pray
You have loved me when I have been too lazy going to church
You have loved me even though I don't deserve anything from You...
and I don't deserve to be loved at all.

In my simple nothingness, You have loved me with an everlasting love.

How can I ever not love You in return?
