Why does it Hurt ?

Here is something I wrote after chatting with a lady online about Jesus.  She wanted to hear, but she starting crying and told me to stop telling her.  The next day, she had questions and wanted to hear more, but the same thing happened and she told me to stop.  This went on for about a week and my heart was just breaking as I kept praying for her to receive the Lord’s love and forgiveness in her heart.  This is a love letter that the Holy Spirit just poured out of me very quickly.  I emailed it to her and she cried more, but she said some of it was tears of joy.

Why does it hurt when I tell you the Truth from Above,
when all I want to do is make your life happy and free?
Why does it make you cry when I tell you of God's Love,
when all I want to do is show you is how wonderful it can be?

Why did God put His Truth and Love in my heart to share,
then bring someone into my life who needs Love and Healing?
Why would He overflow His Love in me and make me care,
if the person doesn't think all this Truth is very appealing?

I know that none of us deserves His Love and Mercy and Grace,
we are such unworthy creatures, rotten and sinful, cursing Him.
We do not deserve to be in Heaven, for in hell we won't see His Face,
we have turned and gone our own way, and saying we don't need Him!

But He knows all we've done and still has a heart of Love for us,
He washes us clean, makes us new, and sees us in a glorious Light.
He poured out His Love to us when His Son One who died for us,
And now He gives us eternal Life and room in His Glory Bright!

We can rejoice and live His chosen life with His Holy Spirit's power,
there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!
And even if we fail and sin, He is our Rock, our Fortress, and our Tower,
He'll bring us back to Him, for we are forever His children like precious Jesus.

Why does it hurt when I tell you the Truth from Above,
when all I want to do is make your life happy and free?
Why does it make you cry when I tell you of God's Love,
when all I want to do is show you is how beautiful it can be?
