Love's perception

2 Corinthians 12:9 

But He said to me, “My grace is enough for you,

for My Power is made perfect in weakness.”

So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses,

so that The Power of Christ may reside in me.

 

Love’s perception 

Surely as Life itself is breathing

substances I cannot contain.

For my limitations needing

the rule of what my heart maintains.

 

Before the fall … I in completeness joined

Adam and Eve in fullness embracing

as their hearts intertwined in a simple song,

no depravity yet  was then engaging.

 

They could be one in Truth's perception

fully given to purpose and call.

In oneness drawn into Life's Reflection.

How was it possible that they could fall?

 

Was the design of Love's True Purpose

to pave the way for Eternity's fair,

so that forever the Life set before me

will bring the Truth's fulfillment there.

 

Love so divine … so fully given

By my God to pave the way.

To be His Own … fully forgiven

into his family ... what can I say?
