Let Your Light Shine Down

Where is love found

In this crazy, crazy world

Full of disease, apathy, and evil

Where can I find the source of Love

Where can I find a perfect example

Of love in the world full of divorces, cheating, polyamory,

Distrust, outright lies, and selfishness

Where can I see love that is selfless

That puts others first

Where can I find love that is patient and kind

I know of only one place

That shows that example

That has perfect love

It is found in the arms

Of a Loving Heavenly Father

His love is patient and Kind

He is not boastful, proud, or rude

His is a love that never ends

That sacrificed his own son

To purchase us from the depths of sin

What Kind of love would sacrifice itself

For another

Only Love shaped in the image of God

Heaven Let your light shine down

We need your Love and light now more than ever

In this broken divided world

We need to unite

Under and in the Love of Christ

God told us to love our neighbor as ourself

His 2 Greatest commandments were

Love God and Love People

But we fail so often in these

We hate with a passion those who are unlike us

We hate those that are different

Let us all unite in the father’s love. 

1^st John 3:16-17 ¹⁶ We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. ¹⁷ If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister^[f] in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

1^st Corinthians 13:4-7 ⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵ or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. ⁶ It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷ Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
