Exemplifying genuine love*
Author of wondrous charity sublime
reached down to humankind with mercy
of passionate grace for redemption against sin’s wrath…
such is agape expressed by God: perfectly unconditional and limitless!
More than celestial caress
that pampers cherubim and angels
wafting gentle whispering of blissful serenity
assuring precious treasures for infinite legacy impact…
such is agape the Father keeps bestowing to abound forevermore!
Offering eternal life and heavenly home
Source of blessed compassion sacrificed Himself
moved with concern along forgiveness-sanctification
for fallen people, needing salvation from iniquities’ wages…
such is agape: active deed reflecting Christ’s nature of selfless goodness!
Beyond mere feelings of delight
surpassing ecstasy inspiration brings
heart beat Enabler breathes out soul-revival
quickening spirit midst healing of the transgression-afflicted…
such is agape: spontaneous miracle wrought by the Holy Ghost!
Sharing while caring, propelled through prayers
along trust-seal reigning despite grievous infidelity angst
upon patience, meekness, longsuffering though pride assails
tested, proven and challenged in the crucible of sincere altruism…
such is agape of faithfulness’ courage --- exercised by brethren in the Lord!
*1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
