How Could You Love Me so Much?

When I sit and think about
How much it is said that You love us
My mind is literally blown away
Cursed and scorned by those who
A second ago sang Your praises
You were beaten and lashed beyond reason
Far above what should have been
You were nailed to that cross
Screaming out a supernatural cry
All because you loved us so much
And I am sickened by the fact that sometimes
I choose to ignore You in my life
I choose to take my own path
Following false hopes, becoming entrapped
By nooses disguised as a rope to the top
By snares disguised as a clear path to happiness
Rather than to trust You will save me
I let my crimson river flow
Just wanting to take myself away
Because I don't think there is a way out
You always pull me out before it's too late
I look into Your face, and I realize my scars are gone
I see them in your hands, your feet, and your side
I wonder why I push you away
What did I do to deserve this love
How, God? How could You love me so much?

    I thought it was really good. God loves us and will always forgive us. Also we are human, we will always make mistakes. It's what you do after you make that mistake that helps define who you are.
    once again, good poem.
