No one loves Me, said my Lord, as I should be
loved.
And if I were
daring, could I not say the same
for myself among my
fellow human beings?
No one knows (save
God) my soul and history entirely
and thus a judgment
by others (and myself) out of ignorance
is rendered that
invariably negates true love.
I love you more than you could ever love yourself,
said my Lord also,
speaking from God’s perspective.
Loving me utterly
because He is in truth one with me.
Out of ignorance is
my love lacking –
out of ignorance is
my love piecemeal and provisional –
for my Lord, my
God; myself and fellow beings.
Ignorance is the
chain that binds, the veils limiting
and clouding the
expression and return of our own true love.
O child of God, you
speak boldly of love
while never having
had a real taste of it.
