It's All About Love

I Corinthians 13
 


Valentine's Day is a day of love,
For showing that we care,
And if we read the Bible,
God describes love there:
If we speak like celestial angels
From heaven up above,
All our words mean nothing
If we don’t have Christian love.
Love is patient, love is kind;
It doesn’t brag or boast;
Love conquers pride and envy;
It is never self-engrossed.
Love is not rude or angry;
Forgiveness counters wrong;
Love stays away from evil;
It sings a truthful song.
Love is full of trust and hope;
It always perseveres;
Love never fails; It’s faithful;
To the Bible it adheres.
And if you give this kind of love
To your special Valentine,
You’ll be loving right in harmony
With God’s own sweet design.

Beautiful rose,Penny, I can almost smell the heady perfume from here.
Always reassuring to read 1 Corinthians 13 again, and the poem based on it.
Hugs and blessings,
Jan

Amen, Penny without this love of Jesus in us, we are indeed clanging symbols and empty vessels. You have a loving and blessed week, my friend. (((hugs))) Jo
