Love...

​

​

​

 

Love is not a feeling, though it is a thing you feel

Many are it’s counterfeits, and yet one love is real

 

Love is not a status, to be earned by merit

And those who know a love that’s freely given, freely share it

 

Love can be an action, perhaps a spoken word

Sometimes love is seen, and sometimes love is heard

 

Sometimes love is silent, sometimes brightly shone

Sometimes love is felt, sometimes it’s simply known

 

I’m glad to know the love of GOD, and yet I must confess

I do not fully know it, if I did I’d worry less

 

I’d spend more time in gratitude, in awe of His great ways

Less time trying to manage life, and more time giving praise

 

God’s love is strong and steadfast, sure as an anchor deep

His plans for us more glorious than our best dreams as we sleep

 

Oh how my soul finds rest, when I pause to wonder of

The vast unmeasured boundless limits of God’s mighty love

"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:38 (ESV)
