A canticle of love

 In the beginning, I was nothing.
But, from my nothingness, I came to be.
I exist.
But not by my own making do I exist.
For how can nothing produce something?
I exist because of the Love of God.
Love hath created me.
Hath God never been Love, 
I would never ever exist.
But God is Love and I do exist.
And this God-Love has taken notice of me, 
a forgotten nothingness that I was.
Holy is His Name.
Ah, even before my existence began, 
I already existed.
I existed in the Heart and Mind of God.
For He thought well of me even before He created me, 
Alleluia!
And, then, I came into being.
I live.
But not for me do I live - 
but for Him Who loves me. 
I am nothing without Love.
Forever will I sing praises to His Mercy; 
forever will I thank Him for His Love for me.
I can't thank You enough, 
O Love, my Creator.
To You be all the glory in this Love 
You have shown me;
And let me be as Love 
and be one with Love forever, Amen.

Amen..you are right..before you existed you did exist...God had your existence planned out before the foundations of the world were created. God is love..and He loves you!

Thanks a million, Mari!
With your following and comment, I am inspired again to go on with this blog.

Glory to God that you have come!
