Reigns of Trust
Reigns of Trust
Love is learned.
Seen.
By watching
Intently. Through creation
even gleaned.
A duck with her duckings,
Cats with their kittens,
Lionesses with their cubs
On the Serengeti Plain under vigilant gaze
Of an African king.
Pride approaches
Nuzzles
Strokes... his golden mane.
In our families
Can we imitate
This love
Respect
Designed
Structure
By a Creator
Organized
Of Vast Intelligence
Exquisite of mind?
Love is
Internally felt
After
Applied
Divine qualities:
Kindness,
Patience,
Empathy,
Compassion
Barriers melt
As icy crystals
When a sun dazzles.
The land absords the moisture.
Sprouts
Beautifully
Since of liquid glazed.
Cycles of rain
From 'The Ancient of Days'. Dan. 7:9, 13.
Love is
Not necessarily
Earned.
For first extended
Selflessly
To not yet
Existing
Humanity.
Thoughtfully given
Christ in Ransom
To Redeem mankind.
Granted
An opportunity
To live like Adam and Eve
Initially:
Perfect.
In paradise.
For an Endless span.
To Eternity.
Therefore,
In wisdom
Should we not discern:
Gratitude
Yes, thankfulness
For the Almighty's
Fatherly concern?
Because
"God is love"
In our imperfections
He did not us spurn:
"Jehovah is merciful and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.
He will not always find fault,
Nor will he stay resentful forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him.
As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset,
So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him.
For he well knows how we are formed,
Remembering that we are dust." Ps. 103:8-14.
So, should we fear to hand over to He and His dear Son

The Reigns of Trust?
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a clanging gong or a clashing cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and understand all the sacred secrets and all knowledge,+ and if I have all the faith so as to move* mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.*+ 3 And if I give all my belongings to feed others,+ and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love,+ I do not benefit at all.
4 Love+ is patient*+ and kind.+ Love is not jealous.+ It does not brag, does not get puffed up,+ 5 does not behave indecently,*+ does not look for its own interests,+ does not become provoked.+ It does not keep account of the injury.*+ 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness,+ but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things,+ believes all things,+ hopes all things,+ endures all things.+
8 Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:1-8.
