There is a Love
A Love above all others
That is even greater
Than that of a mother’s
*
It is a most beautiful
And precious gift
But to receive it,
Your head and hands you must lift
*
Oh, dear child, don’t be down-trodden,
And never be afraid
For this is the promise
Our Lord, The Father has made.
–Brenda G. Gibson
John 3:16 “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
Writer’s Note: This was written a few years ago as my friend, Ross, stood at the threshold between heaven and earth. Although cancer had escorted him there, angels ushered him into Heaven a couple of months later. God is good. All the time. Amen and Ehmen.
God stretches out his arms
Patiently waiting for his son to come home
He’s been waiting for a while
As His son struggles to hang on
*
But, soon the son will trade
his struggles for God’s peace
And God will smile brightly as he
prepares the homecoming feast.
*
The Lord’s attention will then turn
To comforting those souls
Who are left behind and
no longer feel whole.
*
For He weeps with the hurting
And reminds us of the cross
Better days are coming
For He’s already paid the cost.
