You're gonna have to retrain your brain.
You're gonna have to restart your heart.
Fill all that remains
with what you knew at the start -
the unconditional outpouring of love
a mother gives her child
is like the love your God
gives you all the while.
As a mother out of love
willingly suffered to give you life,
so did your God on the Cross,
the Savior, Jesus, the Christ.
His love is a womb,
a place of warmth and safety
wherein you can grow
and become who you were always meant to be -
a child of the Most High
God who loves you unconditionally.
Yet your mind's been lied to,
your heart's been deceived.
You're convinced God's love
has conditions and rules
you could never hope to achieve.
You think His love is
something to be earned
by not being a fool.
Satan whispers in one ear
"you have to b perfect and Holy to earn God's love"
while in the other he whispers -
"you're a failure - you've sinned far too much
for God to ever accept you, might as well quit, 
just go to church and pretend all is well, 
but pal, you're going to hell"

Precious one,
don't buy the lie.
God loved you fully before you ever loved him
and no matter how much you sin,
He loves you still, completely, fully,
for loving you is His will.
