There are infinite resources
For love
In Christ.
Everything we ever needed
Everything we ever hope for.
He is not our role model
Or just somebody to show the way
But He is The Great Lover of our souls
Our Kinsman Redeemer,
Making heirs out of orphans
Forming sons out of enemies
Piercing human divisions
Uniting disparate hearts.
He has done so much more than teach me love,
I have come to need it
Daily
To lay my head on his breast
To wipe my tears on His sleeve
To have my heart steadied by His Words-
He opened His own veins for me
He impoverished Himself
To make me rich,
Denied Himself
That I might be approved,
Humbled Himself
To elevate me from my lowly state,
Died
So that this peculiar, paradoxical,
Beauty-filled life
That I now live
Might be made possible.
There are no greater resources for love
Than His-
No perfect set of circumstances
Can match it,
No meticulously executed plan
Can secure it as surely
No flash of human spontaneity
Can equal its freshness.
There are no greater means for love
No deeper well to draw from
Or better event to respond to
Than the love poured out
By Christ.
