Great
greater is the love
love is greater in God
Greater is the love of God
He whom has offered His Son to die
For the sins of mankind
Great greater is the love
What would you do for your sister brother
The greatest love is to lay down your life
inspired by St. John 15:13

written words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018
The sting of offense
Is crippling
To an unrepentive heart
When wounded by a fiery dart
Walls of defense
Built on revenge
Will only pull us apart
We can not take back
Or change what has been done
But we can overcome
Choosing to love the one
Who by all standards
Is unworthy of our love
Laying down an offense
Is not weakness but strength
Forgiveness and grace
For another’s mistake
Sets the heart free
To receive and live in victory
(7/10/12)
I am laying down my pen and paper
No longer will I write.
I am tired of this battle
No strength no more to fight.
These every day battles are taking its toll on me
Darkness seems to surround me
No light do I see.
I’ve always written about the beauties
That surround us in our lives.
Now all I see is darkness in every corner of the room
Then I feel the emptiness, the heartache “and the gloom”.
How can I write happy thoughts when I am full of pain
Everything is changing , and yet I stay the same.
My pen is getting heavier- the thoughts are cloudy in my mind
I keep telling myself “that I’m doing fine”.
It was once easier to lie to myself -rather than admit defeat
That I am no longer at my fullest peak.
So with sad heart- the flow of ink will stop
For I have reached my climax - I have reached the top.
