"You Are Loved"

We were younger then, you and me, full of dreams, weren't we?
I went my way, you went yours, where did you go, dear?
Someone said you had left the life we lived together then
This is my of reaching out 'cause I remember...

This is what I want to say to you
If I had one chance to speak to your heart
You are loved
More than you could ever know
This is what I want to say to you
If I had one change to tell you something
You are loved
More than you can imagine
Imagine

If I told you would you believe the narrow road, I did not leave
If I told you would you understand that I've found truth
Are you jaded? Are you hurting now? How I wish that I could tell
Where your heart's at...can you see? Mine has found---home

Not sure if I've, made it clear enough
It's not my love I sing about
Everybody asks, "Is God good?"
I believe, He is
In face I know, He is

(By Rebecca St. James)

I'm reading a book called LOVED: stories of forgiveness and those words are at the beginning. They jumped out at me because I can relate to it. I can relate to falling away from a close friend and wondering how they are doing...wondering how life is going for them. I hope that they realized that they are loved...maybe not always by people, but always by God. I hope we all realize this! God loves us beautifully and deeply.
