I loved you before you were born And when you came into the world, I loved you even more I love you because I love my son And you are his daughter I love your mother and father: they gave you life Love cannot be contained It bursts with life and enters the soul – An epiphany of grace. Millions of babies are born every year Every day people become parents And this gift remains eternally special Precious is the life of a person. Yet so often we discard this magnificent creation Blind to our responsibilities Ignorant of life’s source Allowing selfishness to rule our hearts and minds Denying God, Creator of all life Destroying goodness and harming ourselves Oh, that we could see the beauty of life! And the privilege of creation And know the heart of our loving God. Jesus loves us all, for we are the children of the Most High God He is our Father; we are His sons and daughters Claim your inheritance… While you can But do it with love.
