Colours of Love



“Love is patient; love is kind; love in not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irrational or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” ~1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NRSV).


Love in motion,


Fear demotion,


A kindness potion,


A patience lotion,


So much more than emotion.


Love:


Truth embraced,


Humility encased,


Reality faced,


Simply chaste;


Never in haste,


Or self-abased,


Or given to distaste;


Just God-spaced.


Love:


Bears iniquity everywhere,


Believes in ways to dare,


Hopes enough to care,


Endures always through prayer.
