Letters to the Beloved - Excerpt

You Cannot Stop My Love For You


I would love you the same, even if you were not faithful to me


My love for you is not based on how you love me

It is based solely on how I feel about you



I loved you from the beginning; before you were born I was connected to you

I understand fully who you are, and am never ashamed of you

I have perfect love for you, so all of your faults are covered by me

I delight in you, and you are my purpose



I live through you

I love through you

You are my hands

You are my feet

I see through your eyes

Since you are unable to see through my eyes, I see for you, through your eyes…

You only have to go where I guide



I expect you to fail me, and have made provision to withstand your weakness

There is nothing you can do to make me stop loving you because of the pledge I made on your behalf

Others will wonder why I love you so, and why I have chosen to pour my love on you this way

You can tell them it is because I take delight in whomever I please

To love you is my pleasure

The light of day shines because of you, the moon glows to illuminate the darkness around you

Warm days are to satisfy you, and cold ones to bring balance to your system

Daybreaks on your behalf and night falls for your rest and comfort



I have decided to love you; therefore you need not worry if you are OK

You need not struggle to become

Just be who you are, for that is who I love

Yet because of my love, you will become all that you are intended to be



Why do you worry about what you are not, I know what you are capable of

If you fall low, I will collect you

If you run far I will come after you

I will pursue you

You cannot stop my love for you!


Always,
