When You Love Someone

When you love someone they will know that you do,
and no matter what your love will breakthrough.
When you love someone they will know it is authentic,
and no matter what your love will never be cryptic.
When you love someone they will know they are valued,
and no matter what your love will not come unglued.
When you love someone they will know it is okay to cry,
and no matter what your love will always be nearby.
When you love someone they will know no lasting shame,
and no matter what your love will forgive not blame.
When you love someone they will know how to pray,
and no matter what your love will lead in that way.
When you love someone they will know it flows from God,
and no matter what your love will prove it's no facade.
When you love someone they will know you love to serve,
and no matter what your love will hold nothing in reserve.
When you love someone they will know Jesus is your Lord,
and no matter what your love will never keep a record.
When you love someone they will know you are sincere,
and no matter what your love will never give in to fear.
When you love someone they will know your love won't quit,
and no matter what your love will be guided by the Spirit. 
When you love someone they will know that God alone is worthy,
and no matter what your love will ascribe to Him all the glory! 


Dear Father, You have shown us how to love. You have given us Your Spirit and Word so we can love like You do. May we learn how to love by responding to Your love with gratitude. May gratitude move us to obey Your command to love one another. Thanks for hearing and answering, in Jesus name. Amen!
