LOVE AND FAITH

Love and faith
These are two
Intangible things
God looks for in you.
Love is monumental
Unable to be measured
It's accompanied by a feeling
And actions instrumental.
Love is expressive
Contagious like a disease
It melts the hardest of hearts
Brings men to their knees
Love is a job
At which all choose to work
Love is easy and complicated
Requiring homework.
Love is an art, even a science
Beyond formulas and compliance.
Love's impression is true
When you are affected
You will surely know it too.
A heart stripped of love
Is left feeling blue
A heart deprived of love
Often doesn't know what to do.
Love believes all things
Love makes you sing
Love rejoices in the truth
True love is never lustful and loose.
Love endures all things
Despite difficulties and pain
Love believes the best in people
And is slow to complain.
All pails in comparison to love
The God kind of love from above.
Is always worthy of
Care and attention
Nurturing and full of affection
Unconditional and never wavering it is.
From such flows eternal security and bliss.
As for eros however
It can betray with a kiss
This did Judas to Jesus.

The God kind of love however
It never fails
To it all other kinds of love
In comparison pales
True love must be tested
To reveal to what extent
It is or is not invested
To fully discover
Where it has never existed
True love in faith endures
When relations are strained
And there is much pain
Love and faith abides
When people in unbelief
Have left and exited
Love and faith embraces
Where others have rejected

Faith from above
It works by love
Faith is a force
A fact and an act.
The Holy Spirit is known
As the spirit of faith
Enabling you to confront your problems
Rather than flee in fear
Seeking merely an escape.
For problems reappear
In other forms and people
But if you master love and faith
The victory will always be yours
As a sower and a reaper.
Be not deceived therefore
You reap what you sow.
So don't be quick
To pick up and go
To walk out and leave
That someone you once loved
It's time to reevaluate
What you've called love.
Many misappropriate the word love
Not knowing what it is of
Many love sport
Others love possessions
Several love their work
Some love food - a favorite dish
But love and faith together
Is God's wish.
A wish for humanity
That they might forever abide
That they might remain satisfied
Dwelling in the presence of God
Settled in all they dreamed of
Nestled in the arms of love
Secure in divine relationship
Confident in the word of faith
Able to escape
The snares of the soul
Capable of contentment
Being always whole.
Love and faith
These must we seek
Love and faith
These must we speak
Love and faith
Hold fast to them
Love and faith
To be God's dearest friend.
Love and faith
To keep you until the end.
Love and faith
To give new beginnings again.
