You Are Always First

First Speaker,

you whispered your love to me

in my mother's womb.

First Knower,

you knew me

long before I knew you.

First Finder,

you found me

before I looked for you.

First Lover,

you loved me

before I had the first chance to love you back.

And you are still speaking,

knowing,

finding,

and loving me

first,

every day,

every moment;

you are always

speaking,

knowing,

finding,

and loving

me first.

Thank you,

in Jesus' name, amen.
