And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow
with love for one another...
Learning to love as we should is a lifelong schooling;
Its lesson-book; Today.
Its student; Self
Love's lesson book unfurls a fresh page!
Thank-you Lord!
From skylines flushed with mercy's proof God ushers in today
Rife with fresh opportunity to love and trust and pray...
Love’s speech is explained without words; no translation required
A universal dialect by voice of choice defined
It speaks in tongues of angels by mankind’s Creator sired
It is not greedy, selfish, rude, impatient or unkind
It seeks no podium of pride; does not envy or boast
Love thinks of God and others first; how hard true love would be
Without HE who IS love and loves us to the uttermost
And helps us overcome ourselves with HIS humility
With his shed blood we are redeemed; by His stripes we are healed
By his grace we are saved; not by any works we have done
Lest we forget who, on mankind’s condemned behalf appealed
And loved us so He gave Himself through the gift of His Son
He knew no sin but became sin to break sin’s curse for aye
To crush the head of he who desecrates all that is pure
And delights in siring doubt with ‘did God really say’
He hates the One who gave Himself love’s conquest to secure/procure
Love is its own translator; actions speak louder than words
The way we treat our fellowman reveals love’s evidence
The love of God, if we but ask, gloriously undergirds
Our love, fumbling at best, with His love’s beaming recompense
