1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest
among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live
through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved
us, we also ought to love one another
Love one another, and
by your love they will know me
Unbidden Came
God’s Love
Unbidden came God’s love,
Not rushing from the skies
As angel, flame or dove
But shining through your eyes
At first I did not see
That God was there in you-
Your love was all to me,
Was all I sought and knew.
But then as if the sun
Took years and years to dawn
Event’s led one by one
To deeper meanings drawn.
Each time you took my hand,
Each time you helped me face
What I could barely stand
God reached to me with grace.
Through these plain common things
Rich mysteries I heard:
The fluttering of wings
And God’s incarnate word.
