this is love

Lord,
Your best friend (John)
said,
"this is love...
not that WE loved Him...
but that He loved us...
and gave His Son...
for us."

is love ever
anything less
than giving away what
we most prize?

is what we call
love
nothing less than a reflection of
You, Lord?

Your friend, john, seemed to think so...

has there ever been a person
anywhere
who has ever loved
anyone
with a love all their own?
