Spread forth life’s seed in every land Mt.28: 19 <br />Love all as I’ve loved you Jn.15: 12 <br />For through your love they’ll understand Pr.16: 21 <br />The way to life anew Pr.15: 1 <br /> <br />A branch in Christ can cease to grow <br />Caused not by obvious sin <br />But through the lack of love we show <br />To those who serve within <br /> <br />Our love in Christ, should not seem rare <br />But flowing, deep and true <br />Your brother’s burdens are to share <br />As he; should share with you <br /> <br />Look to another, as Christ would do <br />Not there, a fault to find <br />Then they in turn, may share your view <br />And to your; fault be blind <br /> <br />In many ways, true love is shown <br />Compassion, trust and care <br />We’ll harvest only what we’ve sown <br />So what we have, we share <br /> <br />Let no-one covert, another’s gift <br />For service they’ve received <br />You may well cause God’s Dove to lift <br />Through selfishness, He’s grieved <br /> <br />Your brother may hide, a broken heart <br />Behind a smiling face <br />Your arms to him, could soon impart <br />The love of Christ’s embrace <br /> <br />God loves to love, but hates to hate <br />This statement’s more than true <br />Love your brother to share the fate <br />That you would love for you.<br /><br />Michael P.
