Love is

by DarkLight   Feb 17, 2012


An immeasurable sacrifice,
an abundant grace.
An enduring mercy,
overlooking all my transgressions,
all my imperfections and weakness without judging.
He has given me hope and future without finding fault.
He has blessed me with gifts and talents,
surely this love is unsearchable.

Love is,
a source of light in the dark world.
Hope in the times of dedperation,
confidence in the face of instability.
Bumper harvest in times of drought,
safety in a sea of insecurity.
Perfect health in an epidermic,
peace in the presence of trouble.
Calm in the midst of strife,
such is the spelling of love.

love is,
touch of tenderness for the wounded.
Compassion for the suffering,
living water for the thirsty.
Consolation for the broken-heart,
tears for those in mourning.
Healing for the weary,
direction for the lost.
Riches for the poor,
nothing defines love better than your actions.

Love is manifested in actions,
a warm blanket for the cold.
Hot meal to nourish the old,
shelter for the distraught,
justice for the oppressed.
A stronghold in times of trouble,
that is the spelling of love.

that is how God is working in my life.

    I think love has no concrete definition.
    We can only attempt to compare it but still we can fall short on words and also with the actions on some occasions. Though, I like how you explained what love is to you. It makes it personal and adds emotion to it.
