Love Is
by Barbara Philbrook
Love is
not the ability to speak in a thousand tongues fluently,
but the gift of hearing and speaking with a caring heart
you see.
Love is
not foretelling the future to your fellow man,
but caring what happens and stretching out your hand.
Love is
not surrendering all of your earthly wealth to see what
will be gained,
love is sharing so others will also be sustained.
Love is
being patient, knowing how to wait on another,
love is also deeply caring about your downtrodden
brother.
Love is
never wishing you had what does not belong to you,
Love does not put on airs for others to view.
Love does
not behave unseemly,
nor is love's mind only and always on "Me".
Love is
not quick to anger no matter the cause,
and love's mind dwells not on evil but rather takes a
prayerful pause.
Love finds
no joy in injustice you see,
love finds truth has much more desirability.
Love
beareth and endureth all things big and small,
no matter what comes, love hopeth and believeth through
them all.
Love is
not bought or sold,
love is of God, that's what we've been told.
Without
God there is no love,
it is instilled in us from our Father above
Ask and
you shall receive is what the Holy Word has to say,
invite God into your life and start loving today.
