Love

Love so rugged, calming storms, strangely being.
Love so hard, gently touching, hurting, bleeding.
Love so true, pure, liberating.
Love unfailing, standing sure – God!
Only one is capable, only one is love.
You love me, especial, differently,
You keep me coming back for more.
When I stray, you still stay
How deep is your love! How vast, how great!

There are times that I feel unloving towards those who are supposed to be my loved ones. It can’t be helped; sometimes I’m unlovable myself. But when it has lasted a moment, I am reminded that his love is not like that. He’s nothing like me and his love is not like mine or yours for that matter; sometimes active, sometimes not. Far beyond comprehension or thought is his love and always, ALL WAYS flowing.

Jesus is love. There is no greater love than He. And He loves me, you, the entire world. Love loves me. Love loves you.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Jesus, thank you for loving us. Thank you that no matter what is going on in our lives, no matter what has happened in our history, no matter what others say about us, no matter how unloved we feel (or are) in this world, no matter who rejected or hurt us, we remain loved by you. Thank you because your love defines us and thank you because no one and nothing can take away your love from us. You are ever loving; help us to open our hearts to you, and to love others just as you love us. Help us to clear our minds of the tainted pictures of love we have believed and accept true love. Help us to love always in the way that matters not in the way that’s popular. Amen.
