She more than loves Him
if her love were to wear a name
it would have to be
adore.

From the heat of hell’s fire
singed reasoning tarnished
and blackened her heart.
She was lost.
Righteousness suffered
unto its ultimate demise.
From beyond mislaid,
or misplaced, even past nowhere
to be found
with His love
her spirit was restored.

Compromise owned
her conclusions and hope
was dead and buried.
A ‘worthless deed’ wears
a weighty misnomer
for at forty three
she owed a debt with
exponentially compounding
penalties.
With His life her debt He repaid.
With his blood
He forgave.

Yes, she more than loves Him
her devotion lends easily to
adore.

I waited.
I wasn't disappointed.
Nope.

Do it again.
Soon.

A poke at your muse? *G* I was ready to hunt her down with a butterfly net when I saw your post vanish yesterday... but this is worth waiting for. *S*

When your muse awakes, she blesses us all with her words!  Very well done JB!
