I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. (Psalm 116:1)
Here we have cause again, a reason for love. It is not a legal rendering, a quid pro quo. Rather it is simple human rationale: “Why do I love Him? Here's why.”
It evokes a soul pain: “Has He heard? Is He hearing?” And then in first person: “Where are You now?”
In this I reveal need, and enter relational reality. “You have heard. You call forth love. Though I cannot see you, I am confident you are present even now, and working.”
“Alleluia.”
