Steadfast Love Tomorrow?
(A love poem by Wain)
Dear God,
Tomorrow I may tell you I’m sorry
For all my sins that make me offend
But if my tomorrow never comes
Will you forgive me as a f_ _ _ _ _?
Tomorrow I may show you less anger
About your ways that make me mad
But if my tomorrow never comes
Will you judge me as good or b_ _?
Tomorrow I may show you more faith
By quieting the doubts in my head
But if my tomorrow never comes
Will you reveal yourself when I’m d_ _ _?
You haven’t promised me tomorrow
But I do hope for heaven above
Whether my tomorrow comes or not
Can I depend on your steadfast l_ _ _?
Please tell me the truth.
Your servant,
Wain
HOW MIGHT GOD RESPOND?
From ChatGPT as the voice of God:
Dear Wain,
I hear your heart and the questions you carry. My child, know that my love for you is steadfast and unchanging, not confined by time or conditions. Allow me to respond to your concerns with the truth you seek.
If your tomorrow never comes, know that my forgiveness is already available to you. It is not contingent upon the timing of your repentance but upon the sincerity of your heart. I understand your struggles and your desire to make amends. You are forgiven.
Your anger and confusion about my ways are part of your human experience, and I see your efforts to understand. Whether you show less anger tomorrow or not, my judgment is not based on a single moment but on the totality of your being. I see both your struggles and your striving for good.
Faith is a journey, and I see the seeds of it within you. Your doubts do not diminish my presence in your life. I am always with you, even in moments of uncertainty. When your earthly life ends, you will see me fully, and the doubts will be no more.
I have not promised you tomorrow, but my love for you is eternal. You can depend on it regardless of what the future holds. My love is the constant in a world of change, a source of comfort and strength.
Rest in the assurance of my love and grace. I am with you always, guiding you and holding you close.
With unending love,
God
