Because God Is Love

 

Today's poem topic prompt from Robert Lee Brewer @ Writer's Digest

For today's Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

Write a love poem, and/or...

Write an anti-love poem.

Rom.12:21

Do not be overcome by evil, 

but overcome evil with good.

Completely Known, Completely Loved

Love encounters no burned bridges

For, love keeps no count of wrong

It does not harbor old grudges

Love forgives and carries on

Love, not overcome by evil

Overcomes evil with good

God is love’s perfect example

Though often misunderstood

Love is God’s eternal promise

Therefore love can never fail

Because God is love and God is

Everlasting, love prevails

Love; what miracles are made of

Love, incomprehensible

Because God is love, thus, with love

Nothing is impossible

Simple as a cup of water

Given in the Father’s name

Awful as a cross that flaunted

Hate and death; Love overcame

Love leaps, limps, kneels, never falters

Love, always fit for the task

Love’s Author is our Helper

All we need to do is ask

Love inspires mercy's missions

Visions of Heaven reply

Self-serving turns to contrition

Answers humbly, 'here am I' 

Love can never be defeated

No matter how hate may try

Love is always greater, rooted

In a Vine that cannot die   

Love is our perfect power

Love is our perfect peace

God is love, thus He is our

Confidence that cannot cease

Love is more than mere acquiescence

And adherence to cold law

Love, Indescribable Essence/Presence 

Fills us with hope, joy and awe

This poem gathered steam with every stanza...it could truly go on FORVER

and it does! Because our one true everlasting God, is love!

I am the vine and you are the branches. 

The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. 

For apart from Me you can do nothing.

John 15:5
