1 peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
I will never regret loving deeply,
even though i dont do it perfectly
even though my loving at times
goes awry cuz my sinful pride and lies
still God you let me love till it riddles in my bones
i will not regret loving deeply
till it covered
failures
flaws
scars
i will never regret the times
Gods grace allowed me to love so deep
as to forgive a multitude of sins
as to forget those things done and said
God you let me
hope
believe
endure
and wish the best
work hard even when i wanted
to give up
i can never regret
the times
of loving till
i can't stop
thats how Jesus loves
without halts
i wont regret loving deep
even when i am not
loved the same
treated like a sinful shame
i guess i am...
arent we all a step away
from a fall?
But o
i am more hopeful somehow
my creator isnt done with me now
but God how can i use my love like a currency anyhow?
I must give and
close my eyes
even tho i may be left to
die but
you won't
you wont leave me because your love
wont run dry
and if mine does please O God
fill me quick back again
remembering to love how you love
crazy and big
who am i not to love like this?
when i am one of the chief sinners too
messed up and confused
why you paid for me
with your life?
thats love i didnt even choose
you outdid them all
your love is that huge
your deep love
woos me
cleans me
calls me over
and over
and over
and over
again.
you dont tire
in telling me to
come back
to come
home
to fall again into
your open arms
you remind me when i am cold
of your selfless love
your actions, bold.
father please let me love others
the way you have shown
and by what you have told!
dont ever let my wounds
hide me away
toughen my heart from loving till
im pained
let me always
see the work of art
you are molding
sketching in marble and clay
so i can say
that you are chipping away
everything that isnt
that persons true self
in you.
we are not finished till the final day.
Jesus you are making all things
new.
what a pretty color that rock has
oh the hue!
i am that work of art too
that you are carving
i thank you that
you cherish this
marble slab
