Embracing Divine Love in Daily Service #2249

Embracing Divine Love in Daily Service In the heart of our journey, love leads the way, With God as our guide, we bow and we pray. "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart," In this divine command, we find our start. Yet love extends beyond the heavens high, To every face we meet, both far and nigh. "Love thy neighbor as thyself," He said, In this sacred call, we are truly led. In simple acts of kindness, profoundness we find, Each encounter holy, every heart aligned. See God in each neighbor, let love be clear, For words without deeds, we cannot revere. Hypocrisy falls when actions betray, Sincerity stands in the love we display. Daily we serve, not out of mere duty, But from hearts full of kindness, revealing beauty. As we care for ourselves, let us also give, To those all around us, let true love live. In small acts of kindness, the world transforms, In every gesture, God's love warms. Our lives intertwined, a tapestry bright, Of service and compassion, shining in light. In giving, we receive, in loving, we're loved, In true service, we shine with grace from above. Go forth today with love in each word, Honor God, let His voice be heard. In every action, bring His kingdom near, In living love, make His presence clear. -Steven G. Lee (July 8, 2024)
