Love is not just about feelings, but also about actions.
True joy comes from abiding in God’s love and living according to His commandments. As Jesus is loved by the Father, so He loves us. We are called to remain in this love, reflecting it in our relationships with others. Jesus shares these words so that His joy may be in us and our joy may be complete.
In the realm where feelings and actions intertwine, there lies a love, divine and benign. Not just a feeling, fleeting and brief, but actions of love, bring us relief. True joy springs from this love so deep, in God's commands, we are to keep. Abiding in love, a joyous ride, in His commandments, we confide. As the Father loves the Son, so pure, so does Jesus, with a love so sure. We're called to dwell in this love so vast, a love from the beginning, to the last. Reflecting this love in our relations, bridging hearts, across the nations.
In every heart, in every nation, God's love and salvation find their station. Not bound by borders, nor by creation, His grace is our foundation. Despite the chaos, the world's rotation, God is in control, our firm foundation. In uncertainty and tribulation, His sovereignty is our consolation. Our actions echo across creation, consequences real, no mere illusion. God's righteous judgment, our destination, calls for anticipation and resolution. Our bond with God, no mere equation, dynamic, evolving, beyond limitation. Not static, not routine, but a relation, growing, changing, a divine narration. Let's find new ways, a fresh sensation, to express our praise, our adoration. Share the good news, the proclamation, of God's salvation, to every nation.
In every corner, under every mound, the gospel's echo, a universal sound. No walls of culture, no ethnic bounds, in Christ's love, humanity is found. Not by customs, nor laws we're tied, but through faith in Christ, we confide. Salvation's gift, so freely supplied, in His grace, we do abide. When disagreements rise, and tempers flare, let respect and thoughtfulness be our care. Engage in discourse, be fair and square, seek the Spirit's guidance in every prayer. In decision's hour, let wisdom preside, consider the past, let experience guide. Precedents valued, no truth to hide, in thoughtful judgment, we confide. Through times of challenge, through times of strife, by the Spirit's power, we live our life. Strong and wise leadership, sharp as a knife, guiding us through, in peace and rife.
