Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

In Love With God, Really

Believers in God claim so much
one is they love God for sure
but now is this really so true?
when the motives are not that pure

God calls His believers to love him
Jesus even asked do you love me?
for He truly knew the inner heart
especially when they bend the knee

But the Lord comes with stuff
He brings with Him much to enjoy
sometimes that's reason we want him
telling we love him but it's just a ploy

Is our love for the Lord truly pure?
with the right incentive focused on him
giving our full heart to Jesus alone
for His glory deserves nothing slim

This God sent His son to the cross
as our substitute for all our sin no less
so we must give all of self to the king
He's given His righteousness for our dress

'Are we in love with God or his stuff' )- Francis Chan (B1967, Pastor and Author)
