What Is Love?

Thu, 08/18/2016 - 17:49 -- BN15

   To most people love is a word to be tossed around

or a feeling to be found

 

but what they don’t know is it far deeper and greater

and it is our Creator 

 

to most people it’s a feeling or emotion 

but it’s not what gets our pure devotion 

 

Love was here from the start

and that’s why it’s the very thing you crave in your heart

 

 

cause love is the only thing that can fell the void inside of you

but don’t be mislead love isn’t just something we do

 

because God is love, and so love is our Creator 

now realize I said creator not dictator 

 

what most of you think of love is truly lust

and that’s why the world is so unjust

 

we see people as things we can dispose of 

cause we’re driven by the lust of the world instead of God’s love 

 

God is love and He never forces it

but lust will wrap you up and make you submit

 

Lust will hold you captive until you lose it all

but mean while Love will continue to call

 

 Love will direct you in what is true

but lust will try to change your point of view

 

Lust will force itself on you and have you believe it’s what’s best

but love will only pursue and come when you request 

 

Lust will have you believe that it only has to do with sexual appeal 

and it’s ok if it can just be concealed 

 

Lust will have you believe that love is just something you feel

and sex is how it is revealed

 

People think looking for love makes you a whore

but that is what the whole world is looking for

 

but they don’t know that love and lust aren’t the same

so instead of looking to God, they look for money, sex, and fame

 

instead of falling into God’s embrace

they continue to chase

 

the very sin that has lead them to were they are

and we can sit here and act like that’s so bizarre 

 

but that describes so many of you

but if you just trust God His love will come through
