Don't Leave Me

Once again, I had hurt my true love. Once again, I have run from Him, disobeyed Him, left Him to Himself. The pain I had felt was so great...
One day, I came back to Him with ill intentions. It seemed like I was some business person instead of His Beloved; a masked sinner with everything to hide.
When He saw me coming to Him, He smiled the biggest, most welcoming smile and He ran over to me, just like He had done in the past. I stood there and bowed my head.
"Nelly!" He said so beautifully that the trees bent over to listen to more of His melodic voice.
My head remained bowed. I lifted my right hand and removed a ring; a ring that He had given me. His smile immediately disappeared and He stared at my ring, then at me. He slowly lifted my head and asked gently, "Nelly...what are you doing...?"
I had tried to stay strong. But His voice, His beautiful, soothing voice, made tears slide down my dirtied face.  
"I can't... I can't do this anymore, Jesus..." I said, trying to sound like the strongest person in the world.
Concern flooded His face and He bent down to my level.
"Do what, sweetheart...?" He asked, the leaves dancing to His voice.
"I'm going to hurt you again...over and over...non-stop! Don't You understand yet? I'm a sinner, Jesus! I'll never be as good to You as You are to me! Please try to understand! I'm doing this for Your own good; I'm getting out of Your life forever, and You don't ever have to worry about me ever again! You'll finally be happy! Please, understand!" I said, more tears coming from my eyes. My speech started to become very difficult to understand right around the "I'm a sinner..." part. But I couldn't help it.
Jesus didn't keep His eyes off me, His concern was still pasted on His face. He closed His eyes and I saw a tear slide down. I hate to see Him cry...and I knew that it was my fault...
After my rant, He simply grabbed my right hand with His left and put His right hand in mine. His eyes expressed so much love and sorrow...then, He simply pleaded...
"Please...don't leave me..."
I widened my eyes and fell to my knees. Did...did He just...I had never heard Him say anything like this to me before...
More tears spilled from my eyes as He whispered, "Don't leave me..."
I felt that if I had left Him, then His whole world would crash and burn. It seemed impossible; He doesn't need me!
But He wants me. O, He wants me...



And He wants you.
