The Love of God

The Love of God
creating
the world
with purposeful
loveliness
with order
and rhythm
with people
of intelligence
made capable
of responding
to the Presence
and Love of the Creator.

The Love of God
for the world of people
gone astray
in rejection and hate.

The Love of God
poured out
in a Person
in a Life
in a Death
engineered
by those who cared not
yet given for them.

The Love of God
and the risen Lord
reaching out
to the world
through the lost
who have been found
and have found in him
their life.
