God is Love

How can I serve you?
You are always with me, you are always in my thoughts
I am so thankful for you and you're healing touch
I can give you my past and you gently take care of my vulnerability and nakedness
I believe every word you say is true and trust your every move
You take my hands and lead me to peace
How you have saved my life and changed me forever and always
To say, to feel, to know and believe that I love you comes so naturally
Thank you for comforting me and knowing my every fiber
For you always respond with love
I am lost and miserable without you
I am comfortable around you, im myself, I love to giggle and laugh with you, to walk and spend every moment with you. I want only to be with you, my light
How incredible it is to hear your voice
I long to be in your arms again

Faithfulness, never once have you forsaken me
Just one, there is no one else for me or for you
Balance between praise and silence, speaking and listening, serving and being served, trust and independence and reliance
Walking in that confidence
Infinite wisdom and never ending joy
You know my ever weakness and yet you build me in love and patience
We co labor and cry and dream and honor and love
You are beautiful beyond comparison

I get to fight next to you, to know you're always there
Together we explore and traverse, unafraid because you're always holding my hand in purity
We flame the fire together and share in drinking from the eternal well
I truly trust, and am honored to bring heaven to earth with you
I cherish every single moment at your side
What a joy to give all that I am as we praise and serve
We build each other up, work with a single mind, united
We are one, there's no "I" only "we"

Love, its meaning is so heavy and yet so freeing at the same time.
Love is such a powerful word to me, it takes my all to understand, and yet, its so simple
Whether the love be of a father, a teacher, a friend, a close lover, it’s a choice to be vulnerable and receive it.
Love is home, with whomever, wherever, however
Love knows no boundaries , perfect
Love, it spills out of you, overflows and touches other
Like a garment of praise, you wear Love and all its comforts and refuge
More than an emotion or feeling, Love is a knowing, so unshakeable
Love, becomes who you are
Because God is Love

quote

Americans have separated themselves from the natural world. During the past eighty years we have been 'advancing' so fast that we are as infants trying to run. We would be wise to slow down and learn more about primitive (first) values. Today more than ever we need to understand and live by harmony and balance with nature, for truly, man separate from nature is a fantasy.
