the marriage made in heaven

Be on your guard, stand firm within your faith

I mean remain within this God who makes

all love that's ammature, that's real, not wraithe,

which doesn't always feel as good as fakes

that major on the feeling (not the fact).

Agapé love and Faithfulness "to boot"

are married and are often in the act

of making love that's real & bears good fruit.

So do your bit to choose with God's own way.

His needs are not for us to make things work,

but just because he loves his child he'll say

that we can be a help, not just some jerk!

And then he'll make it real: and ou-r part

that's played by us while tuning in to him,

will be a key, and beautiful, an art!

"Be mighty, full of courage- don't be dim.."

'e says to us, "..let love and kindness be"

your motivation that's behind all acts.

And I think that, if we do that, he'll see

that we can learn his wisdom, where we lack

some in our present state. He doesn't see

(& get caught up with) "where we are just now".

He's got a "growth mindset" - "Eternity" -

where we could get with his help then somehow!

This hope in God outside of time does not

bring disappointment, 'coz his love as well

has been poured out in our hearts such a lot,

by one who hovers over hill and dell!

Be on your guard, stand firm in your faith- in God.  Be mighty and full of courage- let love and kindness be the motivation behind all that you do!! 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (PM Version)

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit- who has been given to us!!  Romans 5:5. (PM Version)

This love is AGAPE LOVE- before Christ this word in the Greek manuscripts was rarely used- Agape love meaning is unconditional, undefeatable love that always seeks the highest good of the other person, no matter what the other person does(or doesn't do) It is a self giving love that gives freely without asking anything in return. Agape Love is more a choice than an emotion.

Agape Love describes the unconditional love God has for us and the world.

"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear or be afraid, for the Lord your God, He is the one who goes with you. He will never leave you or for sake you." Deuteronomy 31:6. (PM Version)
