Love is an Act!

I wrote this poem almost a month ago in my quiet time with the Lord. I was processing a situation with a person in my life and He challenged me like always to see things differently. To see Him in her. To see Him as the perfect role model for relationships. As a result of this time with Him, the relationship has transformed and I always want to give Him the glory for His work! God is the God of reconcilliation and He cares more about relationships than anything else! That's why He sent Jesus so we could be in relationship with Him! The other part of that is so that we can be reconciled with each other! God is a relationship God!

Love is an Act!

I am no better than she
She is no better than me
Instead we are sisters in His family

She may have different gifts
Different quirks or perks
Or a different personality than me

But regardless of the facts
The truth remains
Love, it is an act

Ane when I serve her
I'm like Him
When I have compassion on her
I'm like Him
When I affirm her
I'm like Him
When I lay aside my needs or wants for her
I'm like Him
When I forgive her
I'm like Him
When I'm willing to listen to her
I'm like Him
When I hope for her best
I'm like Him
When I love her
I'm like Him

And He is love!
Love is an act!
