He Always Loved Her
He Always Loved Her
The loving man in the neighborhood remembers the day she was born
into the world. He heard just how happy her parents were that day,
that week, that year! He didn’t know her parents as friends but they
had friends that knew him and they would let him know what was
happening in their lives.
The years passed by and he would see the girl occasionally as his
friends would have special events and he was invited to attend
at their home, birthdays, holidays, memorials when one in their
neighbors had died. But, the little girl’s parents would be too
busy with work, family and fun to get too close to him.
She would walk by his house with her friends and he would
see her smile or giggle, how she would wrinkle her nose when
she laughed. Her hair was fixed in sweet pigtails, oh he
thought if only she would speak to me but, maybe one day. He had
known her from a distance that would have to be the way it was
for now.
Then he remembered the day she got very ill. Her family and
friends called to him to see if there was something that he
could do or know someone who could help in any way? But
in some respects, there was not too much he could do since
he wasn’t invited to their home and family as they seemed
to be kind of suspicious of him. But, one day, when she
was almost at the point of death, her family called him to come
right over to help them and her. “I will be right there”, he
said. As they opened their front door to him, they opened
their hearts as well. He came right in and she opened her
pretty blue eyes but was not able to speak but in her heart
she reached out her hands to him and then, his heart
began to race and as you might be aware, “I am her
CREATOR, I have always known her from afar, not more than
an arm’s length but now she will know ME and the love
that I have for her.
I laid MY hand upon her fevered brow, and she was healed
in an instant! She let me put MY arms of love around her and
I held her for awhile….. after all, I am her GOD; I’ve
known her all of her short little life!
