Please read this unique poem I found, and tell me what you think about it please.

Jesus...

Your legs weren't made for running
They were made for standing up
To your own responsibilities

Your arms weren't made for enfolding
They were made to be open
To offer the love you have

Your mind wasn't made for destruction
It was made for construction
The only tool for growth

Your heart wasn't made to be broken
It was made to accept the love
That is offered to you

Your ears weren't made for hearing
They were made for listening
An expression of your caring

Your body wasn't made for dying
It was made for living
Loving this passion you give

Your death wasn't an option
But a choice to save your people
The only true love you hold

This is a beautiful poem of His incredible love for us all. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Melissa, Wonderful poem. Thanks for sharing this with us. Some of the verses are really original (to me). What a Jesus we serve, how awesome His love for us. Just beautiful.

I like this poem very much.  Thank you for sharing it with us.  I do believe that Jesus'
death is an expression of His Love for us...
and His resurection holds the Hope for our future.  Bob <><
