How Great Is Your Love?

So many people in these days and times
Are busy talking about love but no proof will you find;
They talk about it day in and day out
But if you look at their actions, you will find there is reason for doubt.
They look upon others and think they are or no good;
They feel that they only have what it takes to do and be understood;
And therefore I ask the question, do they love others as they should?
Is it inspired from above? 
And how great is that love?

Do they always try to greet others with a kind word and a smile?
Or do they say, "I'm sorry," they will just have to wait awhile?
The Scriptures says to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, but 
  so many are saying it and doing something else.

They "walk" over others as to say they are nothing and treat them like dirt;
And do it without feeling, as if they wont be hurt.
But as time keeps on progressing and life keeps going on
All of us must take a look at ourselves and figure out what's wrong.
Decide if we are loving, being led by God's Spirit from above-
Search deep down inside ourselves to know
How great is our love?

Your poem holds a powerful message and it made me think of someone who is treating me like dirt and so I must search deep down inside myself for the answer.. see how poetry can reach out to another... well written and full of love for God, self and others
