Boundless Love

Boundless Love​

Living and loving God, full of compassion,
You have won us by your kindness, sweetness and concern



You transform us from clay pots to a work of glory
You share your glory and your endless life



Your tender love is never content
To only save us only, but making us loving children



Eyes of sadness and of poor health you make us see

Reaching out to help those who need your touch



Broken unloved hearts you will not leave alone

But long to bring your love and hope to their hearts home



Your boundless love in us overflows
With ease that waters other souls

Your boundless love in us overflows
With ease that waters other souls

I like this poem. In particular, God's boundless love overflowing from us and watering other souls is a great image!

By the way, I often see what seem to be unnecessary empty lines in the middle of your poems. If that's not on purpose, I'd recommend using the "preview" button before posting. Would help with fixing them to ensure easy reading.

The last Sunday saddleback church sermon of being hospitable, welcoming as well as experience was the starting point for this poem. The experience was helping a friend (lives in assisted living) eat her lunch. So weak she could barely lift her fork. It was one of those times of His great closeness. Hard to imagine doing something so commonplace and yet His presence being so strong.

He pays great wages. All he has to do is make Himself known. That is great pleasure.


Upon more thought this was an introductory experience…. What could be. The knowledge of Him being close indeed was the payoff. But what would happen if He withheld Himself like He does?

Thinking of Mother Theresa that for years served the poor of Calcutta without the feeling of great closeness…it is said. I would be denying the power of God to say He could not make me like Mother Theresa, however i feel very destitute in being how He is, His image!
