We are pursued, chased
by God’s love,
the prevenient grace of the creator
trying desparately,
to bring us back to him,
the prodigal children of the garden
separated from him by choices,
by the reliance on self, on human ability
misunderstanding God’s wish
to be in relationship with each of us
Chased our whole lives if need be
until we accept the gift of God
