No love compares to yours. My heart lit with flames when we met. I was studying The Word at that moment. I said come into my heart my life is yours. Please forgive my sins--those I committed and those I shrugged off not helping a person in need.
I forgive all who have brought me pain in order to receive you. I love you more each day your Holy Spirit resides in me. God within me with all the power to heal and change as you wish.
Just three months ago, you saved my life. My soul has always been yours. If I waited and not gone to the hospital, disobeyed you, then in two more days I would die, but you nudged me to go. I would be dead without your nudge.
How can my love for any man, woman, child or baby compare to the greatest love I will ever know. It is your love for me, my Lord my Savior, my God. There is but one God, and His love is enough for the whole world.
In the beginning the Word was with God the Word was God ... murdered on a Roman Cross by God's people ... You said, if I do not leave you, I cannot send the comforter.
I am here when you want me. I want to come home. I've been there twice and never wanted to leave, but I tumbled through the tunnel of faces and fell into my body. I longed to return; I still try.
I understand I am to share what I know "There is life on the other side of the veil.” .

Like everyone else here, I am glad to welcome you back;. Now, there is a poem before us…
L1 unnecessary and makes L4 sound repetitive L4 either put quotes around “come into my heart, my life is yours Please forgive my sins—those I committed and those I shrugged off not helping a person in need.” (I also put in a comma for you) or “to” before “come” or “for you” instead of “to” S4 “How can my love for any man, woman, child or baby…” maybe it is me, but this just does not sound right almost egotistical or slave-ish especially since this statement precludes your own offspring S5L3 I like S6 “but I tumbled through the tunnel of faces and fell into my body.” I like S7(?) Eliminating makes it stronger What is missing, I noticed, is your signature imagery. You do have some images (I noted the best/my favorite), but there are so few of them, it might as well be a declarative speech.
Hi, Tori I'm glad to see you. God takes good care of His people, I can relate to this beautiful story poem, Years ago i almost died of walking PNeumonia , i made it to the Hospital just in time , it was the Lord spirit that send me there, i was laying in bed refusing to go because of fear , thank God i went I stayed a week, if i have not listen to his voice, i would have being dead. Keep healing in His grace.
So glad to see you back, to know you received healing. (Otteri's back!) Your write was a testament to the Holy Spirit and your faith. I loved it, Sister. A friend, who's taking a theology class, asked me my take on the explanation of Love, as it pertains to God and Christian faith. I sent him the following:
The love God has for us was manifest in His willingness to take the sins of all mankind upon himself, to be the sacrifice that would cleanse them all. His very word says it all: 'God is love.'
The love we have and show to others, most especially when we are quiet about it or where no eye can see, can be illustrated with the following analogy:
We are each given a bottomless well and required to fill it with pebbles. Where the pebbles go are not our concern nor our business; it is only our continuous effort to fill that well that matters - even while knowing it is an impossible task.
When we have the Love of God in our hearts, the only thing we must remember is to gather as many pebbles as possible in the time we are given. When we stand before God, it is then we shall see how close we came to filling our wells. It is then we will see where each pebble went and know that each of them was counted by God, Himself.
Love is jumping on a grenade to save your buddies; it is allowing someone ahead of you in line at Walmart; it is a smile, a kind word, a prayer for God to bless another; it is both a word and a deed.
When we love God with all our strength, all our hearts, all our minds, we want to give to Him that for which He paid the highest of all prices; He died to save souls, including our own; He then asks so little of us - to do all we can to win souls for His sake, that His death not be in vain for those who do not yet know Him. They are pebbles in need of a well, and they are everywhere; we will have no excuses for not finding them. And if we truly have the Love of God and love FOR God, we will.
Thank you, Tori, and it is just wonderful seeing you again!
