The word love is thrown about carelessly; but love is more than mere words. Love was offered by our heavenly Father when He sent His Son to die for our sins. True love was demonstrated by Jesus. He spoke His love for man from the cross when He died to pay the debt we could not pay.  He is our example to follow.  When we know who He is we know the truth -God is Love.

There is No Distance in Love

There is no distance in love’s ability to touch another.
It has such a powerful affect, it is left yet undiscovered.
Love abstains from hard-words of condemnation.
It turns about; to reverse adverse confrontations
Our gentle touch is noted by God above;
It is stamped with His approval of love.
Love has silent love-words that only God hears,
Your inner desires and thoughts are very clear.
The world has need to possess, to hoard, and to control,
Everything they desire to have and to hold.
But the God-kind of love is open and free.
He loved you so much He died to set you free indeed.
His desire is for you to love Him so much;
You choose to allow within His touch.
Choose life or choose death; it is all up to you.
The wise will God’s loving provision choose.
Your co-operation with Him will much profit find.
His love flows through you, to another as He designs.
Your prayers, with good words, and loving deeds,
With random acts of kindness; are all kingdom seeds.
There is no distance in love’s ability to touch,
Even in a word of rhyme, are found seeds of His love.

John 15:12-14
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
