Lover of My Soul

My daughter just handed me a tissue because I am sad and crying.  More rejection and hardness of heart from my husband.  Do you know how disheartening it is to pursue someone who doesn't want to be pursued?  I bet God does.  I cannot possibly be as enduring, as patient, as compassionate, understanding, and loving as He is.  Yet, HE IS - all that and more.  He suffered the ultimate rejection - crucifixion on a cross, hanging between two thieves, put there by His chosen people.  I have no place wallowing in my misery... He died so I might have life.  Life to the fullest (The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  John 10:10 NIV).  And so, despite my circumstances, despite repeated rejection from the man who once said, "...for better or worse...I do", I will... live to the fullest the Lover of my soul will allow.
