Effective Love

The love of Christ towards us
effecting us outside and in
realising it's all surpassing glory
moulding true righteousness from within

God's holy spirit working in His power
revealing in us true holiness
so basking in God's eternal love
knowing His ever living faithfulness

Blessed meditation on this love
so fully raptured on things above
waiting on Christ and His return
fitted for eternity in heaven's glove

While we are here being sanctified
being outwardly changed by the living vine
showing inner peace and joy pleasing to God
pursuing fruitfulness to the finish line

Effective love holy love
love divine defeating sin
meditate on such mercy
Jesus love seals us in

AUTHOR NOTES: "A realization of Christ's love towards us should affect us inwardly
 and outwardly by meditating on such love."

Such wisdom that many forget. To gain the ability to love, we must focus on the One who taught us the concept in the first place. Lovely piece and a fantastic reminder. All the best. ~Jonathan J.
