This is the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my law within them,
and I will write it on their hearts;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
No longer shall they teach one another,
or say to each other, “Know the Lord,”
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord;
for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.
—Jeremiah 27.33-34
I have not laid rules upon you.
I have written my love in you,
carved it in the bones of your heart.
Love is your secret name.
You don’t need to search for me;
I’m in you.
You don’t need to please me;
I love you with absolute forgiveness.
You don’t need to come to know me.
You are me.
I am your Inward,
your Eternal, your True, your You.
That’s my Covenant.
You can’t break this one.
You can’t escape your belovedness.
Sink into it. Become it.
