What is Agape Love & What Does it Mean for Us Today?

there are so many different kinds of LOVE
     but Agape ... is the highest
there is Familial, Eros, and Philia_
        and there is healing "Agape"
     in forgiving and kindness
  to all who have hurt us ...

         ~ in my HEART I will only hold serenity
and in my soul will dwell COURAGE to follow my path
      and only tranquility will leave my lips  ~ 

I hear the WHISPERING  ... of the Lord
                 he tells me to have faith
     and hope and to live in grace
        to keep peace within me always
                 and to seek to do the right thing
  for the Lord is Agape ...

~  it is vast and infinite and eternal
      filling me with INSPIRATION and fathomless strength
    and in PRAYERS I ask for the Lords blessing  ~ 

        REFLECTING on my life thus far
      I hold close my Familial ... my FAMILY
and though they dwell above now-  they are with me
          oh, I have known Eros romance and lust
    I have been PASSIONATE and been desired
       and been blessed with Philia ... friendships unconditional
and in the Lord found my HOME...

          ~ the Agape within in me is limitless and pure
I welcome the lost and help with kindness the found
    I listen and respect with selfless caring ~

             but, I have one question Lord
   the unconditional feelings I hold for each pet I have had
and the way they accept me with no rules or reason 

is this your divine Agape ?

Connie, thank you for the compliment, I have pondered this unconditional love of animals and it has no other name than Agape, my kitty Snuggles was the kitten of a barn cat and there is a wildness in her that will never leave and I love her for that, but there is a barrier I must never cross with her as she will bite and use her claws (for now, anyways) love _Constance

Exquisite writing with equally fine presentation. I love the way you worked in the requisite words. It's not easy to do effectively, but you have done so. Good luck in the contest, Constance.
