Do I love enough

Do I care

Do I love like Jesus

Everywhere

Am I the hands

Am I the feet

Helping all

Everyone I meet

Am I consistent

Do I love at all times

No matter the person

The sin or the crime

In my anger

Or frustration

Do I use it

As justification

To not love

As I should

The same way

That Jesus would

Do I love the way

I have been called

Or in my differences

Does love get stalled

Do I choose love

Even if I disagree

With someone’s thoughts

Different than me

If someone goes against God

Do I choose hate

Or choose love instead

To reciprocate

For isn’t it better

To give love instead

To not just think with emotion

But to use our head

For as God is the judge

We must not choose hate

We must walk away with love

Not retaliate

Leave it all in God’s hands

And choose to love one another

For that’s what He’s called

Of each other

Do I love at all times

I contemplate

For I hope I choose love

When I could’ve chose hate

Choose love

John 13:34 NIV

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
