Trying to define the
infinite
how to understand love
the nature of God
Love, true love,
not the pale imitation
human love not enough.
God is love; God is
the attributes of love
the nature of love
what it means to be loving
in the nature of love.
Layer upon layer,
trying to understand
but not nearly enough;
Love here is merely a foretaste
of God who is love.

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand. The glove cannot do anything by itself, but
when my hand is in it, it can do many things.
True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts. We are gloves. It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand,
who does the job. We have to make room
for the hand so that every finger is filled.”
