No Record of Wrongs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love puts the past where it belongs,

And leaves it in its wake.

For there’s no blessing to be found

Burnishing a mistake.

 

Love doesn’t seek to dishonor,

Disparage or defame.

Love keeps in mind that we all bear

Our fair share of the blame.

 

Love doesn’t waste time on such things

As anger, pain and doubt.

It’s heart is set on patient grace,

For that’s what love’s about.

 

1 Corinthians 13:5

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Only When Shared

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all have those who test our love,

Who push us to the edge,

But it’s the nature of that love

To not jump off the ledge.

 

Love offers patience in turmoil,

And kindness where there’s pain.

When nothing else is left to you,

Love always will remain.

 

It does not boast, it is not proud,

Of such things, love’s been spared.

For, by its nature, love can grow

Only when it is shared.

 

1 Corinthians 13: 4

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Giving Gifts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The gifts we give should come from love,

Not mere pretense or show.

The sacrifices that we make,

Nobody else should know.

 

It’s not the gift that lifts the lost,

But the love that we give.

While gifts my help with daily life,

It’s love that helps us live.

 

Let that which you give come from love,

Then hold within your heart

The blessings born from love that’s shared.

That is giving’s best part.

 

1 Corinthians 13:3

If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
