UNDERSTANDING GOD'S LOVE:
Time ago,
God, Your spirit was dead
Within me.
I believed you;
I obeyed you;
But the enthusiasm just wasn't there!
I never knew something was wrong,
Until you showed me.
But you knew.
- I didn't understand your love.
So you made me understand.
And I was so happy!
I realized then, that -
You would have died just for me!
You really cared about me
And you loved me as much as any other!
Even though I wasn't perfect.
Far from it.
A few years later,
Again I felt
Dead in spirit
And no passion.
But, this time I knew what it was.
So I asked you to help me understand your love again,
And over the next few days,
You showed me.
But not your love for me.
Your love for other.
That is, the poor.
You showed me,
And gave me,
That love for the poor.
You saw their hunger
And wept,
And I wept with you.
Oh, joy is my heart!
God, my love for you!
I'll love you and love you,
And thank you and thank you!
I asked, "Lord, how can I
Repay your love?"
You told me,
I couldn't
So I asked "How can I please you, Father?
Tell me so my joy can be complete"
Then You said, "child
Head then my greatest commandment:
Love the Lord your God,
With all your heart, soul.
