Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

The Love Of God . . .

Surpasses all of human earthly love
Comes into the deep crevices of the heart
Knows no boundaries and has no limitations
Gives, forgives, pardons, and holds no grudges

Changes hard, calloused and crusty hearts
Softens and makes supple, hardened lives
Purifies, heals, delivers and performs miracles
Makes enemies at peace with each other

Brings new life, light, laughter, love
Rejuvenates, renovates, revives, and refreshes
Caring, compassionate, without other’s merit
Good, not evil, rejoices in truth, without quitting

Trusts God always not the circumstances
Looks for the best and doesn’t keep score of others’ sins
Doesn’t have a swollen head or strut its stuff
Never looks back but keeps going and going . . .

Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. The one who doesn’t love has yet to know God, for God is love. The light of God’s love shined within us  when he sent his matchless Son into the world so that we might live through him. This is love: He loved us long before we loved him. It was his love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins. (1 John 4:7-10 TPT)
