Love Triumphs

Posted on September 23, 2020 by bigskybuckeye

From 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Living hollow life without love

Nothing but emptiness, thereof

Disconnected faith fills our veins

Minus love, tall mountains remain

Mankind’s meaningless possessions

Forgotten in life’s recessions

Worldly knowledge, means so little

Love gently binds, never brittle

Love arrives with Holy kindness

Patience without any blindness

Never arrogant or hateful

Without envy, always grateful

Jesus teaches, love each other

Sincere love, sisters and brothers

Caring God so loved this dark world

Christ’s own unselfish love unfurled

From a blood-stained Cross comes His Grace

Love speaks out, sin falls on its face

Our Lord offers His Holy gift

Faith, hope, love . . . no longer adrift

God’s Word delivers life’s new lease

Love triumphs, building lasting peace

From the words of Christian theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr: “The cross symbolizes a cosmic as well as a historic truth. Love conquers the world, but its victory is not an easy one.”

  Thank you Jim. I must give credit to a short devotional which inspired me to read and study further. It is incredible to hunger and seek satisfaction in God’s Word.

    My pleasure, Buckeye! I hope you’re doing well also. Please pray for one of my family members. A tree fell on her and she was injured.
