Psalm 139 and John 3:16 were inspiration for this poem; I also recall lyrics from a song my godsister, Kari Shipman, wrote that hold the same message.

“Do you know My love for you?” (#38)

The eternal God speaks in my heart and asks me, “Do you know how much love
That I have for you, My son?” in a voice powerful and yet soft as the call of a dove.
He says, “If I wrote a song to express it, it would be impossible to play for any human band.
It would go on forever-my thoughts about you are more numerous than the number of grains of sand.
I love you so much, that My Son was willing to die on the cross so that you could live; and here is why:
I chose you to be Mine before time began, and I wish for you to be Mine for all eternity.
But for that to be possible, you must decide which love is more important to you-for the world, or for Me.
If you love Me, you will obey My commands, and love Me enough to give up your life.
You can be a witness to the world, standing up for your faith, and trusting in Me when threatened with the blade of a knife.
In a healthy relationship, love should flow both ways-as between a father and his son.
I love you so much; will you love Me until all is said and done?”
