Walking along distant shore
Splashing through love rolling in
Filling anticipation
For what might have been
Chasing footprints, still present
Wishing love would return back home
Filling eternal sunset
For dreams want to roam
Clinging to memory’s thoughts
Sorting images, clear and bright
Filling love’s gentle presence
For each morn beams light
Recalling tiny details
Bringing smiles inside lonely heart
Filling tender, childlike love
For music restarts
Longing for more sandy walks
Holding hands, together as one
Filling timeless connections
For love’s never done

Relationship challenges
Sin attempts to break apart
Holy Spirit never rests
Love’s flame nurtures pair of hearts
Faithful steps follow Jesus
Light sharing grace every day
Together, praying as one

Endurance sustains journey
Love eclipses gloomy skies
Marriage healing and growing
Faith’s commitment now restored
Mercy’s lasting promises
Love’s hymn, vows renewing chords

How do you spell love? When we reach the point where the happiness, security, and development of another person is as much of a driving force to you as your own happiness, security, and development, then you have mature love. True love is spelled G-I-V-E.
From 1 John 4:7-12: “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.”
Josh McDowell (born 1939) is an American Christian evangelist and co-author of over 150 books.
