The Path of Love...

Sometimes, the hand reaching for you

is the very hand you fail to see.

You turn away.

You hesitate.

You convince yourself

you are too broken to return,

too lost to be found,

too sinful to be forgiven.

And so you wander,

until the weight of your own heart

leads you back to the One

you thought you had strayed too far from.

Yet all along,

The door was never closed.

The mercy was never gone.

And the call never ceased.

Get up.

It is not over yet.

Turn back to Allah.

Call upon Him,

even with a broken heart.

Seek His forgiveness,

even after a thousand falls.

For this is the path of love.

We fall.

We stumble.

We lose our way.

Yet still, we return.

Not because we are without sin,

but because we refuse to despair

of the mercy of the One

who knows every flaw within us.

So when shame tells you to hide,

Let hope lead you home.

For no matter how far you have wandered,

never let your sins convince you

to stop seeking His forgiveness.

This is the path of love:

To fall, to rise, to return

and to never despair

of Allah’s mercy.

Yours truly,

The Servant
