Love is blindness,
To everything but kindness,
So let’s see this come true,
In everything we do.
Love is blindness,
To everything but kindness,
When this is our sole hope,
We have strength to cope.
Love is blindness,
To everything but kindness,
For kindness is the key,
In how to truly see.
Love’s the Higher & Most Excellent Law
Let’s see love come true,
In everything we do.
Abiding to love as if it were a law – and
it is, but not in punitive terms – means we exalt it. When we see love come
true in all we do – perhaps in one day as a snapshot – we are encouraged by
God; we are inspired.
Love is a standard that meets and exceeds
all standards. It has no fear and it does not shrink. When we meet love’s
standard – and we can’t always – we see and we experience what is most
excellent.
Love Bears, Believes, Hopes and Endures
When love is our sole hope,
We have strength to cope.
Coping is about these four things. With
love we can bear patiently what would normally infuriate us. With love we
believe the things of God – we see a bigger perspective of reality and we are
sufficiently open-minded. With love, hope thrives. With love, endurance has
both reason and poise.
Love Never Ends / Love Never Fails
Kindness is the key,
In how to truly see.
When we finally see that unconditional
kindness is our license to life – that kindness, all on its meek own, is the
solitary thing that sustains our love – then we see why love never ends; why
love never fails.
If we do not give up on love – loving those
who even might despise us, with hardly a mention of those who have hurt us – we
will see this truth in the fullness of its eternal glory. And kindness is how
we do this love; by being
incessantly kind – no matter what.
***
Who points us to love other than the
Saviour – our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ? Such eternal kindness he has poured
out through the Father’s grace on the cross; and, to share his Holy Spirit with
us.
Now, there is also tough love: a real love.
A topic for another article. But even tough love can be seen as kindness. Even
tough love has a kind intent; for the betterment of someone though a growth
opportunity.
