    To GiGi,

    Thank you for being a friend. I feel as though you were someone I could pour my heart out to, and I was right. I'm saying this not because you are more special in the Eyes of Christ, but sometimes we meet others we may feel more comfortable with. You will not leave my loving thoughts, along with everyone. Keep using your gift of prayer and extending your God given compassion for others.

    I wrote something around 15 years ago that flowed so naturally into mind. It's in lyrical form. I titled it "Love's Eyes (The vision of Christ")

    Love knows no opposite

    Fear engenders hate

    Love cannot perceive it

    It's not what Love creates

    No, love will never cease

    To return again, my friend

    Love has no beginning

    Love doesn't have an end

    Love's Eye's just can't forgive

    When ALL they see is Holiness

    Thus love needs not forgiveness

    Since It's perfect-nothing less

    Love's Eyes see crystal clear

    Wearing no disguise

    Love is why we're here

    Peace is shining through Love' Eyes

    Love knows no opposite

    Nor diversity

    Love sees just one color

    Painting you as me

    No, live will never sleep

    To slumber in dark dreams

    Love extends It's Presence

    Vision is the means

    Listen, Love embraces everyone

    Will not one soul omit

    Exclusion, just an ego illusion

    Sweet Love, Oh what we've made of It

    Love's Eyes just can't forgive

    When All they see is Holiness

    Thus love needs not forgiveness

    Since It's perfect-nothing less

    Love's Eyes see crystal clear

    Asks no sacrifice

    Her Eyes blind to fear

    Peace is shining through Love's Eyes

    Love is why we're here

    Peace is shining through Love's Eyes

    To all:

    I believe that over the past 2 years using this site, I've said things I probably should not have. My apologies. Yet I believe I have also said sufficiently what is enough. I see no purpose to say any more.

    God Is

    Peace to all.

    Dear One Eighty.

    Thanks for being my friend on this site. I, too, am coming up on 2 years here. I've read a lot of comments and said a lot as well. We all make mistakes, and, at times, say things that are very profound. We are all growing in Christ and this is such a joy!

    Thank you for this poem. It makes me think about how perfect God's love is and how He sheds it over us and abroad so freely.

    I hope to hear more from you in the next 2 years and beyond. Being in the word of God together is a real blessing, so keep opening your Bible as I will and take in the truth of what God has spoken to all of humanity. Jesus is our Savior because our sins put us in need of forgiveness from God and reconciliation with God. Jesus accomplished that on the cross. Remembering His redemptive work on the cross and in His resurrection is a great comfort to those of us who have put our faith in Him and trust that He will indeed do all that He has promised for us.

    Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
