Love...Without God?
by Jms Bell → (All Poetry by Jms Bell)

Times and methods are changing so rapidly these days! It seems that the very definition of 'Love' has changed. So many 'skirt around' its true meaning so as not to offend others. They'll freely encourage us to 'love one another' but are careful not to mention its origin. So this is my question? Who created Love? What is it, from where did it come? From whom was it first emitted and to whom was it first given? In 1Jhn 4:7-8 we find that 'God' is Love. Thus, if I want to understand true Love, I can turn to Him as my prime example(Rom 5:8). When we're speaking of Love...we're speaking of God. This is something that we cannot ignore. Thus, if we truly Love God...we will Love others.

The world has changed  

it's no longer the simple things  

we're futuristic...and mod  

but... 

how can we travel 

life's roads 

and not think of...the sod? 

how do we lean...survive 

our tribulations 

and not think of...the rod? 

how do we bask 

in peaceful glow of moon, sun and stars 

and not give light...a nod? 

how do we breathe air 

and enjoy our sight yet 

ignore the maker...of the bod? 

have we come so far  

so as to bar 

the 'substance' from whence 

we're shod? 

how in the world 

can we speak 

of...Love! 

and not think...of God? 

 

 

1Jhn 4:7-8, John 3:16, Rom 5:8

God is love, I agree. Without Him I could not be. I depend on His love to carry me through, all that I must do.

A wonderful, clever way of equating love with God. It seems your entire being is devoted to Him.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
