how to love someone

He says he only sees the good in me. He doesn't understand. You have to see the bad in me, too. You have to take people how they are. Not how you want them to be.

Who can live up to that?

Ugh. Just thinking about it exhausts me. I've let down almost everyone in my life. And why? Cause they had expectations of me. That's just the fact of it. You can't let down someone who doesn't have any expectations of you.

The only relationship I ever had like that was with God.

GOD WOULD KNEEL DOWN

a poem written by Daniel Ladinsky from the works of St. Francis of Assissi

I think God might be a little prejudiced.

For once He asked me to join Him on a walk 

through this world,

and we gazed into every heart on this earth,

and I noticed He lingered a bit longer 

before any face that was weeping,

and before any eyes that were 

laughing.

And sometimes when we passed

a soul in worship

God too would kneel

down.

I have come to learn: God

adores His

creation.
