Let Your God Love You
by Edwina Gateley

Silent.
Be still. Alone.
Empty Before your God.
Say nothing.
Ask nothing.
Be silent. Be still.
Let your God look upon you.
That is all.
God knows. God understands.
God loves you
With an enormous love,
And only wants To look upon you With that love.
Quiet.
Still. Be.
Let your God— Love you.
