Love In The Bible

I was just scrolling on my phone and I randomly was browsing websites, reading articles and stories... Then suddenly, I came to read poetries! 😅.

The funny thing was, I read several various types of poetries but the ones that I got hooked on were about the love poems 😳.. And, well yes.., I thought, it was crazy! 😬.. But then, there was something deep about those poetries that portrayed a significant difference between a "common love" and "heaven love".

Sometimes, poetry plays important role in helping us to understand and appreciate the world around us. Poetry encourages people to put words to feelings that we can't otherwise describe. I always admire how a poet can study and create poetry. Especially now, when a particular poet able to convey a great sense of essential truths about the heavenly love.

I think, most people today know for sure about poetry is that a poem is something made of words. The poetry's strength lies in its ability to shed a "sideways" light on the world, so the truth sneaks up on you. No question about it. Poetry teaches us how to live and helps us to be more awake, more aware, more alive...

Soon after I have read those great poetries about love, then suddenly a topic came to my mind that said, "Love In The Bible"..😯. At that moment, I was surprised and without doubt I was thinking that, "How come I can see the topic, even though I haven't figure out the content?".. Well yes again, it was weird! 😵.. But, like I said, those poetries resonated deeply not just about love but, an unconditional heavenly love! 💗.., that which was only be found in reading the Bible. There were many love stories in the Bible but, it was only the Bible could teach us about heaven love. So, I thought I should mention more on the topic of heavenly love instead, when I first came to realize, that topic of "Love In The Bible" which suddenly popped up in my mind that time was prominently about heaven love or, which "that kind of love" that only the Bible could really teach us about true love.

Anyway, I would love to share those poetries on here later on... But first, speaking of the love in the Bible, it does have some racy love poetry in Song of Songs, stories about loving relationships and marriages between people. But we don't see relationships that look like modern dating...😅. No boyfriends and girlfriends, no partners (in the way we think of romantic partners today), and no diamond rings and elaborate marriage proposals. Well yes, there are stories of loving relationships in the Bible that will help us get to the heart of romantic love.., not the popular expectations surrounding modern romance, but the essence of true love.

Thus, I'm truly amaze of how a poet can express the necessary truths about true love. To me, it seems that it's best to describe those feelings and the truths through poetries. So, I'm going to share some poetries which I do really enjoy reading them and also, I do hope that they will inspire you as well as do teach us about the meaningful lesson on heaven love, unconditional love, true love...💞.

And with that, I would like to share poetries created by notable poets... So, I will link their good creations to the websites.. And, all credit goes to each one of them and their original contents or websites 🙏...

Ruth was not dressed to look flirty;

in fact, she was probably sweaty and dirty.

But let me also mention

that she did not have to struggle to get Boaz's attention.

She did not have to put on a show

because the Lord had revealed her spiritual glow.

So even though she was not looking her best when she was first seen,

the Lord showed Boaz a woman who was spiritually clean.

And Boaz did not need to impress her with a Harley

and she loved his character more than his wheat or barley.

Yet it took Naomi for Ruth to make the first real move

in way that the Lord surely did approve.

Ladies, when a man is interested in you,

there is very little that you have to do.

If you let him know he is someone you adore,

you should not have to do any more.

Chasing after a man will make you look crazy,

or if he likes you, then do you really want a man who's lazy?

Ladies, some of you are still single

because the Lord sent your "Boaz" but you would not mingle.

When your "Boaz" is ready for romance,

he may need a sign from you before he takes a chance.

You may be having dreams about him and you hope that one day he will propose,

yet you push him away by turning up your nose.

"Boaz" is a gentleman through and through,

so out of respect he will stay away from you.

Just like you, "Boaz" is not out there dating,

especially because you're the one for whom he's waiting.

"Boaz" is not interested in trying the dating life;

he's only interested in pursuing his God-ordained wife.

Ruth and Boaz's story had a happy ending

because they recognized the signs and stopped pretending.

It did not start because of how Ruth looked or was dressed,

she was a beautiful woman inside, and their relationship was ordained and blessed.

God Is Love

Oh man! This is an ego bruiser.

The sweet taste of victory makes me feel like a loser.

The enemy has been thoroughly defeated,

but this is a case of history that should never be repeated.

This is a case of serious internal pains

caused by the cancer of ill-gotten gains.

I went from basking in the glory of countless sums

to barely surviving on breadcrumbs.

I had a choice to do wrong or right,

but I chose the former because I thought God would keep it out of sight.

And now that the case has been disposed,

the Lord left me naked with my dirty deeds exposed.

I'm not even sure if I should weep

because I knew that the Good Shepherd takes care of His sheep.

He's what David put in his sling; He's the Rock!

I saw what He did to Goliath and I shouldn't have touched His flock.

He has taught me a lesson I won't soon forget

so I'm changing my name to "Regret".

I should've known better than to try to scam

someone who was chosen by 'I AM'.

Yet, despite my deceit, He reduced my sentence,

because "God is love" and He honors repentance.

I wish He would've taken my last breath,

but instead, He mercifully chose to love me until my death.

The Lord is giving me a chance to regain my dignity

because repentance unlocks a powerful gift as a result of His sovereignty.

So now I ask for everyone's forgiveness and please don't hold a grudge,

my only taste of victory is because the Lord is a merciful judge.

Some will say justice was not served,

but we are blessed that we didn't always get what we truly deserved.

Even though a sinner, it's plain to see

that despite our sins, we can say, "God still loves me."

He is not a distant God in heaven above,

He's also within us; God is love.

Inseparable Love

Temptations... trial... much the same, may come in many forms

Designed to try and test our faith; the Christian life transforms

A heavy heart, because of them, will only last a while

Threats, sickness, persecutions; Satan works with guile.

The current of this world is strong, but stronger still, our Lord

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ; shall sword...

Or tribulation, famine, peril, nakedness, distress?

Neither death, nor life, nor powers shall cause us to regress.

Nothing in this world can separate us from His love

For we are more than conquerors through Him who sits above

If you're not persuaded, you can read it in God's Book

Paul and Peter told us clearly; why not take a look?

"I Still Love You..."

Jesus is with you through thick and thin.

He was even there when you committed your most regrettable sin.

Don't take this as a surprise,

He did not turn His head or cover His eyes.

He did not leave the room to sit and wait by the stairs,

But He used His pierced hands to wipe His tears.

When you were finished, you were filled with shame

But He hugged you and tearfully said, "I still love you the same."

If you wonder why the Lord still treats you like a winner,

He doesn't love sin but He still loves you, the sinner.

There's something else that's for sure,

He wants you to repent and sin no more.

The sinful things you do (even on a whim),

Don't just hurt you, they also deeply hurt Him.

He gave up His life, once and for all,

And now that He is risen, He will never fall.

Jesus' love does not come with a lot of demands,

But He said, 'If you love Me, keep My commands.'

Sometimes Love...

Sometimes love can be quiet

And sometimes love can be still,

But always love is patient

And is a choice of our will

Sometimes love can be vibrant

Sometimes it's not easily felt,

But always love is eternal

And is never boastful or proud

Sometimes love can be tender

Then sometimes hard to express,

But always love is truthful

And believes in the very best

Sometimes love can be exciting

And love can sometimes be sweet

For love is always trusting

And chooses never to envy

Sometimes love can be painful

Then sometimes love's like a song,

But always love is forgiving

And keeps no record of wrongs

Sometimes love can be gentle

Then sometimes it's just a word,

But always love protects and hopes

And love is always preserved

Love is never self-seeking

And is never angered or rude

Love can never fail us,

For God's love is faithful and true.

In conclusion, the poetries have explored and emphasized the importance of heavenly love or the love in the Bible. Thus, in all our relationships, romantic and otherwise, may we look to God or Jesus and his ultimate example of what it means to love another person 😊.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. - John 15:13

Let all that you do be done with love. - 1 Corinthians 16:14

Anyway, if you still remember that I said, "I haven't figure out the content yet?"... Well, it's done! Welcome to my new content! 😂.
