When You First Believed

Here is another Holy Spirit inspired poem by Veronica Delgado. Enjoy!

When You First Believed

When you first believed in me,when you first put your faith in meit was as though you fell into my arms.Pained, wounded and broken,I mended you perfectly and deliveredyou to the Father.

Still cradling you, I stretched my arms
to pass you to Him.
“Father,” I said “she is the one.
She is the one for whom
I have given my life.
She is the one for whom I suffered.
She is the one whose debt I have paid.

Is she not stunning?
Is her beauty not perfect ?
When I look into her eyes I see
every beautiful thing you have made.
When I look deep within her I see
faith that runs deep and hopes that run high.

He reaches out and carefully
takes you into His arms.
Weeping and overcome with joy
He holds you close. “My beloved,” he says,
“Finally you are mine again.
I have planned this moment since the beginning.
I have waited so long for you.”

Don’t you see? Don’t you see that we
have been waiting for you?
That we have loved you from the beginning?
That we delight in your faith;
That there is no greater joy than seeing you rest in our arms?
