People are so fickle
Picking and choosing what they love.
Putting conditions on whom they love.
Doing the very opposite of what love is!
Why are we so unkind?
Why are we so impatient?
When did love become so rude?
When love doesn’t serve the self, it is rejected!
When a multitude of faults stand before this man-made love, they are not covered!
Since when does love put a list of conditions on its recipient?
Is this the love that was foretold?
Is this how the love of many grows cold?
Is this how people become lovers of themselves?
Whose example of love is this?
Where is kindness, patience, and gentleness?
Where is humility and selflessness in this cold love?
When did love stop enduring all things?
So many questions, only one solution.
Jesus Christ!
Lord, your faithfulness is like a mighty mountain.
When man-made love abandons so easily,
You will never leave or forsake your beloved.
When man-made love puts terms and conditions,
You love from everlasting to everlasting.
You love first when love is most undeserved.
You love when all conditions are undesirable.
You love as a matter of life and death.
You love with a resurrecting love.
You love when nothing else is left.
You love when nothing is offered in return.
You love perfectly.
You love completely.
You love with your whole being.
YOU ARE LOVE.
