It’s impossible to fully put into words God’s love. It’s so wide and deep and unnatural from a human perspective. Yet, in a way, God’s love is quite simple and tangible. You can see it a neighbor’s kindness….in a heart-felt thank you….in someone going out of their way to help another who is hurting. Of course we know: God is love….and when He is present in others hearts, we see His love shine through in astounding ways.
I was led to write about God’s love yet felt completely incapable. This topic is so difficult because it’s so sacred and mysterious. While I can’t fully explain God’s grace and love, I simply share the words that I felt were from Him….as best I can.
I hope you enjoy.
Oh Taste of Love
Oh to taste of God’s sweet love
To feel a touch from Him above
A love that wards off every strife
And brings true hope to every life
It takes me where I’m ever safe
All filled up high with loving grace
To see how love it changes hearts
And sews together broken parts
Tis love that causes wounds to heal
While others only walls of steel
It’s love when neighbors help their kind
Its acts are pure and so are blind
The mind has glory of its own
But love’s real place is in heart’s home
Yet not to know this wondrous love
Smells of a death, not from above
To never touch this wonder land
To never feel His loving hand
Tis got to be the worst of all
As though your soul has hit a wall
The closeness of His holy love
Fits just like a well-worn glove
The joy it brings I can’t contend
And thankful for it’s never end
The feeling of ecstatic glee
Knowing this was made for me
When love comes forth with hearty praise
There’s just one name to gladly raise
If you’ve never tasted of
This golden rich sweet heavenly love
You can attain its sparkling hue
And live for’er with Him and you.
