The Greatest is Love

The Greatest is Love

Words of love, agape love,
told to a hand, a foot, an ear,
those with prophesy, with tongues
to share, to preach, to impart wisdom
but with love, for one another,
love grounded in love of Christ,
the body, the church
parts, stitched together
by the one love of God,
wanting to be the feet, the hands
the voice of the brother
in the world today, as was true then
when Corinth needed mending,
when words of hurt, needed lessons
of agape love, unselfish,
unguarded, unilateral love
love like the gift of God’s grace
given freely, without recompense
unbalanced scales, of love
