A pain in My side,
A thorn in My flesh,
But a love that can never be quenched.
A burden of Mine,
Which I cannot dispose.
But I love it all more.
What I created,
A perfect creation,
Has failed Me, but still I love them.
So I sent My Son,
To save them from sin,
And I could not bear to watch it.
I turned My face,
And I shed tears.
But still I love those who killed My Son.
I raised Him again,
To complete My love,
And conquer Death once and for all.
The thorn in My flesh,
The ones who I love,
I love with a love that cannot be quenched.

So true. I often wonder how God feels. Sometimes we turn our backs so often, without even noticing. For the poem part, I wish it were broken up a bit more. Perhaps some different choices in line breaks, etc. Thank you for the entry.

An excellent write with a profound message of God's Love!--Favorite verses are:--
"I raised Him again,
To complete My love,
And conquer Death once and for all.
The thorn in My flesh,
The ones who I love,
I love with a love that cannot be quenched."
Best of luck in the contest!
