Loved

Happy April! Dear Lord, what waits, only You knowDaybreak heeds Your commandYour evidence puts on a showAs mercy floods the landEnough, your grace whereby we goTo face the day at hand... Without agape love I am A beast by quick impulses ruled My most noble ideal a sham By pagan happinesses, schooled/fooled Without I AM’s agape love I am a ship tossed to and fro No earthly anchor strong enough To weather wanton winds that blow Without love greater than my own To truly love I cannot do Until God sits on my heart’s throne And teaches love I never knew ...and then it is no longer 'I'But He who is the good in meI touch His scars to satisfyWhat else would still a rebel be © Janet Martin Rom.5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 7-11 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God’s love was revealed among us:God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another...
