Let Us Love – A Poem
Dear children, let us not love
with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth¹
Let us love with hands that heal
and feet that go
where we are needed most
Let us love with our gifts
of food and clothing
for those in poverty
Let us love with kind words
that offer compassion
and restore relationships
Let us love as Jesus loved
willing to give all
that others might know His love
¹1 John 3:18 (NIV)

This is beautiful. It reminds me of this hymn:
“Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.”
Blessings,
