“The Master Speaks of God’s Love” copyright 2008 John J. Rigo upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

The night sky was a deep black with blazing stars over the Master and His disciples, this particular night along the sea of Galilee.

It was a time of quiet contemplation of the beauty of God’s work.

Within the group of His disciples, one disciple had a troubling question.

With reverence he approached the Master with his question.

“Does God’s Love for us have bounds when remembering our sins in His Eternal Memory?” asked the disciple quietly, as to not disturb the other men in the group.

The Master lifted His Head toward the night sky and pointed His finger to a bright star saying, “As you look upon the stars in the night sky, many have long changed in form, and are no more. 

The distance is so great in the travel of that light,

that we still see those suns prior to their changing of form. 

So in the breath of God’s Love for us,

it is also beyond the width, depth and height of such distances from us.

Since His Love for us is unconditional, so is His memory of our sins.

In asking His forgiveness of our sins, their memory no longer exists in eternity.”

So spoke that night,

the Master of My Life.
