Love Has Taught Me

Love has taught me to look deeply, beneath the green of the heart’s tender shoots – every living soul draws from a reservoir of mixed feelings, a spring of good laced with evil – I pray each day we together strive to trickle upwards, in the ways of God…. Love has taught me, that the heart, though dedicated ruler of body and its residing spirit is often adversely sway-able, leading to autonomy in name alone... necessitating Christ Love, in humanity, as Father’s fail-safe and Redeemer – evil allowed by the grace of God – not for embracing its presence, but for the power of contrast – not for what it is but for what we learn it can never be – and the peace it can never give us... also taught me, that love is exceedingly larger than the lover – Therefore, not any should think of being defeated for a world of hurt – dear fondness may perish or decline, leaving not a measurable trace – yet, remains a habitat unscathed, where fullness of heart fills every vacated space – it is a blessing I have realized; one I have heard, well-intention ministers preach – but only Divine Love’s personal relationship can ever indelibly teach – So, as love was given me freely – bargaining not with God, the source – I will clearly keep love free from earth’s surface, man’s chosen Terrestrial-course – Love now the large of me – outgrown my Novice Small – Priceless Love keeping me, strong in stance -- rock-solid – standing tall!
