Guest Poet of Praise Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 WHERE IS THE LOVE? I saw today a brother in great sorrow and noticed yet another who was absent - supposed spiritual wisdom and prophetic knowledge too - overrode a call for God's love and compassion. Where is the love? Where is the love? How can we say we are Christians, if we do not show His love? Instead we say "Brother, it's me before you. My anointing before your need. My opinion is truly a God-given gift so I'm justified, don't you see, to treat you with cold aloofness, callousness - until you gladly receive the word from the Lord I've given you. Will you hear what God's saying through me?" And as the brother in Christ listens carefully, he hears . . . "clang . . . clang, clang . . . clang, clanging" . . . If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8,9 --Cheri Henderson http://hometown.aol.com/cheri144/myhomepag...age/poetry.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
