Love Sprouting
Love sprouts from the soil of choice
It is not delicate, but strong
Coming not from man but from God above
And lasting forever long
One chooses to love another
Christ commands us so to do
Toward brother, friend, poor, or strange
Even those who have injured you
It’s not the emotions so often described
It’s a choice made through help divine
For God is love and love is God
Only in Him it you will ever find
It is laying down your life as an offering
Whether it is your last breath or a simple smile
It is serving others with a humble spirit
And following only God all the while
Love doesn’t boast or gossip either
In the truth it does rejoice
It is honest, unselfish, and kind
It is a personal choice
It is more beautiful than diamonds pure
But it is the strongest force in the universe
Not at all a weakness but strength
A blessing, not a curse
Never t’was it better expressed
Than on a cross when He bled
That’s the sort of love we need
Based on works, not what is said
So allow the Lord to mold your heart
So that love may grow anew
So that this beautiful strength from God
Can sprout and grow in you<3
