WHAT IS LOVE?~by David Adejumo

 

THE LOVE OF GOD
EASTER COLLECTION

TITLE: WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is a divine mandate,
the heartbeat of the Creator,
It is living in compassion
for your fellow man,
far above the lustful eyes
of obscenity
Love is an act
of empathy
geared towards rendering
selfless service to humanity…………

Love is beautiful,
oh as beautiful
as the faces of the
orphans and Homeless
living in neglect somewhere in Africa
And amidst the war in the Middle East
Oh man!!!!
Love is an antidote
to hate and acrimony
in the world………….

when I live in love,
my heart is free
from the bait
of antipathy,
when I live in love,
peace reigns supreme
in my heart, and all around me…………

It is a lasting solution
to wars and disagreements
among brothers and sisters
of a common humanity……….

Love is my religion,
when I live in love,
I obey all the laws…………
With love in my heart,
piety becomes my daily
act of obeisance………………..

Love transcends the self,
It is a helping hand
to a dejected soul,
looking for comfort
It is adorning a smile on the faces
of a man in pains
Love is slighting your self gains
to kill the loathsome bane
in your heart………….
Oh man!!!!!!
love purifies the soul,
It is like a spring
of living water that refines
the inner man………

Love is the sole reason for His coming,
It is feeding the hungry from your pittance,
clothing the naked from the rags
I put on
And lifting up a fallen victim of fate……….
Love is going beyond self
and lending a helping hand to someone in need,
God is Love
And Jesus Christ is the manifestation of
God’s love………………
