Love Meant To Be Shared

Filled to the brim and overflowing,
Christ has entered my heart;
Joy unspeakable,
Peace you would never understand,
Happiness, floating on the clouds
Even when walking through the many storms of life.
I am on top of the mountain.
How can I ever keep this to myself?
 
A burning desire to share encompasses me:
You tattered and torn
Broken within and without;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You rich, famous and adored
With the empty heart;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You performing your daily tasks,
Seeking for more;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You passionately sharing your body
With unconnected souls;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You thinking you have it all together,
Your success is all you;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You hardened by life’s battles,
A tough uncaring heart;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You unable to make ends meet,
Seeking your next need;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You unconcerned about your neighbour,
Safely encased in your glass house;
Jesus’ love is available to you.
You confused,
What is life?
Jesus’ love is available to you.
 
His love, the fire in my bones, cannot be contained in my body;
It must find you and your need.
I must go,
I cannot stay put lest I extinguish this fire.
The joy of the Lord is my strength.
You!
Yes you! You need Jesus’ love.
Receive it.
Pass it on.
