Love Like Christ

#LoveLikeChrist

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Not hypothetical
Love...overcomes...
The hardest of obstacles.
Love's...outcome
Promises great harvests...
Even in the hardest.

A love unconditional
Going deeper every day,
Not superficial only on weekdays.
But on weak days it fights to be stronger than before
Instead of giving in deciding you don't want it anymore.

A love that casts out fear was a love that endeared.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love is loyal not looking to find...
Temptations, abominations.

Love is more than a monotone recitation
Or some silly citation.
It's deeper than relation.
Love protects.
It doesn't expect...

Others to be perfect.
But love corrects out of another's benefit.
Love always hopes.
Love always trusts.
Love perseveres...

Love adheres
In sickness and in health,
In poverty and in wealth.
Love never fails.
No matter what it entails
Love will prevail.

Back in January of 2011

    As frustration gripped me at the heart I began to fall. I began to fall faster. I began to fall deeper...
 
 
 
Back in January of 2011...

"You're making me so tense.
Troubling worry.
Sickening suspense.
Lurking in the shadows
Armed with defense.
Waiting to grab me
Fear dispensed.
Outside drury.
Raindrops condensed
Running down my cheek.
 
Tears like a river
Flowing endlessly.
Hurts like a sliver
Digging deep into me.
My heart quivers
Like I'm shaking from the cold.
Frequent shivers
Trying to warm my soul."
 
 
 
    ...And yet God got me through it all. Through the pain He still knew every tear that I cried.
