Fiery Love

I frequently check this other blog I found randomly called "Just following Jesus in my real life." On Wednesday the author posted the most beautiful poem and I just had to share it with you.

The title is Fiery Love

Is there any other god among the gods of this world

Who unashamedly, unabashedly, declares and demonstrates that He loves

Contrary, willful, sinful, you and I

This God Who Is Love Transcendent

Surpassing, Incomparable,

This God Who Loves With All That He Is

Who Gave All That He Had

And yet keeps giving

Is there any other god among the gods of this world

Who Loves With His Great Heart Wide Open and Exposed

Right there in black and white for all to see

In the pages of the Bible as He pleads with and mourns over His wayward people

Like a husband grieving for his bride

Right there in red for all to see

As He bled for contrary, willful, sinful, you and I

Oh how I want a heart that burns with love and passion

And pours it all out on Him

To be an equally yoked lover for such a Love

To blaze so hot with fiery love

That the cold in heart are drawn to come and warm themselves and are melted

By the fire of His love in me
