A father's love
Posted: 28 Mar 2023, 08:32
The love of God is better than wine.
Your love is better than wine.
I ask myself why is the love of God often compared to wine?
Wine is sweet. Sometimes, even bitter sweet.
Wine is intoxicating and can often convey deceit.
King Lemuel, in the book of proverbs says give strong drink to a man who is sober,
So all his problems and afflictions he may no longer remember.
Wine makes a man forget his afflictions, but see the love of God reminds the righteous man although his afflictions be many,
he would be delivered from all by an arm always outstretched and ready.
Even as I pen this to paper,
It is expected that I write within the margins of the pages.
But your love transcends both literature and imagination
So how can I contain its wildness merely by literary rules and regulations.
Your love knows no margins.
there are no standards.
Your love is not a list of tiny boxes waiting to be marked “check”
Because you see, the love of God. Knows no……“spec!”
I once heard a man say that good taste is the enemy of great art.
If you had good taste,
it means that you are choosy and you select
gainfully, because you are thoughtful and only want the best.
But when I think about the way you love,
I conclude again that you’re a great artist,
only this time around,
I'd say your love knows no expertise.
The love of God knows no taste.
It rather pours itself out in a haste.
Lord, truly your ways are higher,
much higher than ours.
But when it comes to love,
Your ways are pretty low even though it comes from above
Yet it doesn’t just stop at being low, it actually runs deep.
and If your love is an ocean, then we’re all sinking in it.
Just as we often say, deep calls unto deep.
It’s however not so with the love of God
Which we rather know responds in a beep.
The love of God is wild, and here deep does not call unto deep.
His love knows no depths in the first place.
It is boundless with measurements that can only be captured in his grace.
From the perfect believer,
to the homeless teenager
who grew up to find family in the streets,
From the confused and troubled lady by the streets at night,
her soul been battered at the hands of wicked and unreasonable men and life’s many plights,
to the perfect church sister having ears always covered,
wearing no jewelry nor any forms of feminine attachments and extensions,
You see The love of God makes no selections.
The love of God meets us here,
right where we are.
His love chases us down,
even here and now. whether we be the one who strayed off, or the ninety-nine still safely within the fold,
It makes no difference truly,
Because Yahweh’s love never puts anyone on hold.
With the same intensity and desperation Abba gathers the ninety-nine, he also chases after the one
Finally, the love of God is reckless and takes no considerations
the love of God is safe although having neither locks nor combinations
Yes, the love of God operates without an insurance policy,
Because at Yahweh’s feet, there’s a mercy that incurres no damages.
The love of God is wild.
although not always comfortable, But rest assured it is the best you can find.
Thank you for listening.
