God Is Love

If you lean onto Love,
You will have conquered it all.
Its application is ubiquitous,
The things it can do are measureless. 

Be warned,
It can break before it heals,
It can cause chaos before it brings harmony,
You must trust the process. 

Love is a universal doctor,
A surgeon that operates without anesthesia.
Sometimes you need the pain, fear, or hurt,
To comprehend its irrefutable power. 

When it manifests, 
It breeds compassion,
Produces kindness,
Brings about peace,
Strengthens courage,
And promotes unity. 

You are its product,
You cannot exist outside its boundaries,
Because love is to being, what water is to body,
It must be home base for all of our actions. 

Let His love,
Flow abundantly in you,
Heal every wound,
Break every chain,
And drown all your fears and worries. 

Let it make you whole,
And make your heart your home.
For God is love, 
And he that dwells in love
Dwells in God
And God in him.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 NIV Amen, great encouraging poem, we do not know love until the love of God flows within
