Daughter & Father - A Dialogue

Why do I bother?
"Because I told you to."

Does it even matter?

"It matters to Me."

Who really cares?

"I care."

I want people to care.

"Some do."

A few... I guess.

"Yes."

"Am I enough for you?"

Of course. Yes.

But you said to desire relationships.

"Yes?"

I desire more.

"Treasure the few I have given you.

They will come."

It's hard.

"I will sustain you."

I'm tired.

"I know."

Shall I continue?

"Yes."

Will anyone read?

"Perhaps."

I wish I didn't care; that it didn't matter.

"What matters is that you obey."

I know.

That's why I continue.

"Then you do well.

Obedience is My heart's desire.

And as you fulfill the desires of My heart,

so will I fulfill yours."

I want only to desire what Your heart desires.

"And so it is.

You are an obedient daughter,

And that IS all that matters."
