A Seed of Love

These writings are a very personal relating of my thoughts directed to God and what I felt in my mind and heart were God's responses. Not an audible response but an inner knowing or understanding. These passages were so powerful to me that I wanted to share their beauty, inspiration, and wisdom.

These reflections were completed many years ago (on different retreats) and laid aside. As you read, you will see that I was not mature enough to bring these forth earlier. I believe God is prompting me to do so now.

In reading, may you discover the magnificence of an All-Knowing, All-Loving God. May these thoughts and reflections bring you to a closer union with God. May your mind be enriched, your heart filled with love, and your soul inspired by our Creator, who is to be given all glory.

At a point in my life, I felt despair, loveless, and asked God the following question: Who could love me? This poem is the response I heard in my inner being.

I would! I could!

You were in the hollow of my mind

from the beginning of all time.

I took joy in your being

even when you were not seeing

the love poured upon you

in the richest shades and the deepest hues.

Yes, I loved you

that cannot be denied

for truth, beauty, and goodness

are buried deep inside.

Oh, there is something

of worth in me

a seed of love

that can set me free.
