Unfeigned and Fervent Love
Those who love abide in light
Those who hate, in darkness.
Love entreats in patience
But hate will cut with sharpness.
To hate is murder but love is life
God’s commandments love will follow.
Hate will strain upon a gnat
But a camel it will swallow.
Unfeigned and fervent love
For each other God requires..
For this is how the world can tell
Who the Holy Ghost inspires.
Those who love Him do His will
And quickly will repent.
Not justify their attitude
And say, "that’s what God meant."
Love is patient, love is kind
And it’s own way doesn’t seek.
Love’s forgiving, loves not proud
And keeps a Christian meek.
For others, love will sacrifice
And when tensions rise is mellow.
But hates expressions always show
An experience that is shallow.
It really is concerning
To see so little love around.
That when the pressure builds
So many run aground.
Love is actually a Person
That lives His life through you.
And when you’re truly born again
You can have love too.
