A Greater Love 1 Cor 13

A GREATER LOVE A greater love, a holy kiss, one like the lyrics: i feel the earth move under my feet i feel the sky come tumbling down, tumbling down**** the Spirit of God, his breath — knocks you to your knees. there is no greater thing than this. anguished hands bleed in torturous black and blues, never expectant of good news. faith parts hands, rises them like balloons, takes the lead off our muddy boots. we are free to seek, free to move and praise takes us higher and higher. heavy-hearted Peter, denied Jesus three times and three times “no greater friend than this” asks Peter, “Do you love me?” we so want to know we’re loved. agape-love, a higher love — a holy kiss.
