Poem: God’s love is like…
Sunday, February 11, 2024 by Melissa McLaughlin

God’s love is a rushing waterfall.

Steadfast cleansing refreshing

Carrying life onward and forever

Unstoppable.

God’s love is like downy snow.

Effervescent, emanating light

holy pure ever-fresh

Endless design and delight.

God’s love is a daffodil.

Announcing life after winter’s cold death.

Undaunted by nipping winds or packed earth.

The dawning season heralded with golden glory.

God’s love is like the rising sun.

Faithful radiance, new every morning

Strokes and hues of amber shades never seen before.

God’s love is fierce and fiery as the mother tiger.

Jealous ferocious courageous

Untamed passion

Throwing herself between the enemy and her family

Protecting her young from harm

with her very life.

God’s love is Jesus.

God’s love brought pain to His heart.

Where the Rose

became a thorn

that pierced His own head.

Heaven’s Perfection

absorbed sin’s shadow

Paying the price

for the sinners He loved.

God’s love is like that.

Like no other.

A question for you, dear readers… How do you describe God’s love?

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. ~1 John 3:16
