SACRIFICIAL LOVE
Jesus gave us Sacrificial Love
When He surrendered His life on the cross.
Love is more than words or emotions
As we suffer from, actions, worry and loss.
David’s victory didn’t come because he fought well
But rather because he believed well.
He prayed to God and ran forth to glory
As Goliath was slain by a stone and fell.
Esther gave love to save her people
And married the Persian King.
She won his heart and took control
Saving God’s faithful to rejoice and sing.
Samson loved Delilah but he loved God more
And he never took her for his wife.
While hecklers laughed at his blindness and chains
He toppled their temple and took their life.
Living without love is meaningless and cruel
Void of fulfillment, joy and peace.
When we truly love others more then ourselves
Our feelings of unawareness cease.
As Christians we’re taught to love our enemies
And forgive and pray for their souls.
No greater love has ever been known
Than when we lay down our life for, God’s goals.
CHRISTIAN SOLDIER’S LOVE POEM
Humans have always had their need for love
Long before they could calculate the year.
Painting on the walls of caves and tombs
Stories of accomplishment, conquest and fear.
Life is a constant contest of struggle
Plagued by greed, love, war, work and debate.
Between all we love; those we tolerate
And some we can’t help but hate.
I’d rather be loved and love in return
Than have a rich man’s gold piled high.
Id rather be loved by someone worthy
With honor, compassion and no need to lie.
I’d rather be loved then be crowned a king
Of a vast empire of power and domain.
I’d rather be loved and never forgotten
Not alone, overwhelmed, and ashamed.
I’d rather be loved for my unselfish behavior
Eager to protect, provide and preserve.
I’d rather be loved for staying resolute
To my commitment to love and to serve.
I’d rather be loved for my awareness of duty
More then anything life can bestow me.
I’d rather be loved and receive God’s grace
As I lay down my life before Thee.
