Krishna and me

Because Krishna loves me He is slow to lose patience with me.

Because Krishna loves me He takes the circumstances of my life and uses them in a constructive way for my growth.

Because Krishna loves me He has no need to impress me with how great and powerful He is because He is GOD, nor does He belittle me as His child in order to show me how important He is.

Because Krishna loves me He is for me. He wants to see me mature and develop in His love.

Because Krishna loves me He does not send down His wrath on every little mistake I make, of which there are many.

Because Krishna loves me, He does not keep score of all my sins and then beat me over the head with them whenever He gets the chance.

Because Krishna loves me He is deeply grieved when I do not walk in the ways that please Him because He sees this as evidence that I don’t trust Him and love Him as I should.

Because Krishna loves me He rejoices when I experience His power and strength and stand up under the pressures of life for His Name’s sake.

Because Krishna loves me He keeps on working patiently with me even when I feel like giving up and can’t see why He doesn’t give up with me, too.

Because Krishna loves me He keeps on trusting me when at times I don’t even trust myself.

Because Krishna loves me He never says there is no hope for me; rather, He patiently works with me, loves me and disciplines me in such a way that it is hard for me to understand the depth of His concern for me.

Because Krishna loves me He never forsakes me even though many of my friends might. Because Krishna loves me He stands with me when I have reached the rock bottom of despair, when I see the real me and compare that with His beauty and love. It is at a moment like this that I can really believe that Krishna loves me.

Yes, the greatest of all gifts is Krishna’s perfect love!

True Love…

…suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is   not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
…Krishna is love.
