Within the Vine

LISTEN

 Then consider 

LOVE

Two identical beads

Remind me

Love is doubly important

A Two way Virtue

1^st LOVE

The first represents God’s love

Universal

Freely available to all

Offered to Me

God’s Love is personal

Intimate

He loves me

Saved

Unsaved

I am Loved By God

Before I was born

He knows me

Inside out

And still

He loves me

God’s is a Love like no other

Unconditional

It cannot be earned

Undying

It cannot be quenched

Love unwavering

At times it is hard to be so loved

LOVE AGAIN

The second bead reminds me

I am to Love

To pass on love and forgiveness

As best I can

God generously gives

I am to love and care about

Family

Friends

Strangers

Enemies

I can only love

Because I am loved

Holding people in my heart

When I come to God they come too

When He reads my Heart they are there

When I hope for them He hopes too

I pray

I write

I reach out

I encourage

So I am involved

In God’s love
