Love from above!

A Love that’s patient, kind, and can't be shoved

on people; just reflect it and you’ll know

it as experience, though “from above”.

Do you know love like this? I do hope so.

This Love of which I speak is not jealous,

it isn't boastful, proud or rude at all.

It dain’t dishonour those other fellas,

keeps no records of wrongs, it’s not so small,

& it ain’t  irr’ta-ble, and quickly burred

up. Love does not delight in  injustice

or evil, though it is quite quickly  stirred -

rejoices when the truth’s on top and wins.

Love never gives up, never loses faith,

it’s always hopeful, and endures through all,

& every circumstance.. it is God’s way

(this “most excellent” path that stoops so small).

And what delight comes to those who will go

along this way in company with him.
They won't follow advice from  wicked though,

or join with mockers in their “caving in”.

Their pleasure/ passion is: remaining true

to what God said, & keeping it in mind!
They stand firm like a flourishing tree, you,

oh God, have planted, … so then they will find

they're deeply rooted by the waters’ edge

and bear fruit in each season of their lives!
Leaves don't wither (their fall is just alleged),

they prosper 'stead of meeting their demise!!

How different are the wicked. They’re like straw,

unrooted, dead & dry, & blown away.

So set your hearts on God's kingdom that’s for

all good that will persist, provide, and stay.

Refuse to worry ’bout tomorrow, trust

your father to enable you to deal

with every challenge that comes that would bust

you otherwise. And if it does, he’ll heal!

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face.
Always remember wonders he has done.

Give thanks unto Him, recognize the Ace!

No greater love from anyone has come!
