Love IS

 

Love is a flower garden in a bower full of snow...


Love is God's beaming banner of daybreak and grace unfurled



Love is a hand that finds a hand when it’s too dark to see 
Love is a candle in the window of the ageless soul 
Love is a shared umbrella, picture-book or cup of tea 
Love is a kind reminder of God, who is in control 

Love is a flower garden in a bower full of snow 
Love is the jewel in the common crown of day-to-day 
Love is the tender duel between hold and letting go 
Love is humble surrender to trust God, come what yet may 

Love is a second-mile on feet that have seen better years 
Love is a hearty handshake, hug, blooms on a windowsill 
Love is a mother’s faithful prayer, the wellspring of her tears 
Love is a Father watching over children of free will 

Love is anything given without thought of recompense 
Love is the smallest kindness in a big, crude, clumsy world 
Love is a leap of faith that disregards fear’s phantom fence 
Love is God’s beaming banner of daybreak and grace unfurled 

Love in an invitation to be willing to be wrong 
Love is a celebration of small words like ‘us’ and ‘we’ 
Love is the recognition of bigger words like ‘belong’ 
Love is a purposed vision because God loves you and me 

Love is the time it takes to make a fellow-fellow hope 
Love is the eyes to prize each day God lends to our touch 
Love is the age-old gold that melts the gray from heart or slope 
Love IS; the proof of God in a world that needs Him so much

Love is the age-old gold that melts the gray from heart and slope...



1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love one another deeply, 
because love covers over a multitude of sins.
