Jesus spoke God’s Word
And he gave commands from God
Yet only few commands were given
To love your God is the greatest commandment
One without wisdom can live by it
Our God exalts love above all knowledge
Indeed, love your Creator ahead of all things
Truly He is your Father and looks after you
What can be more important than Him?
He’s the Good One who is always there for you
And love those who cross your path
Have compassion for their hardship
Overlook their wrongs and help them
For love is the most pleasing to your Father
Indeed, love is the most powerful force
It can drive people across the whole earth
And love can heal a person’s inner self
So manifest love in its many forms
And you will be greater than a monk or priest
Treat your opposers like friends
Remind them their Creator loves them also
Indeed, Our God is greater than wars and grudges
His Love is not hampered by our mutual grievances
Relieve the load for another
And take on suffering as love
Labor for their health
Give them your time
And what you value
This example Jesus set for us
By giving his life so we could have ours
Pray for love in all your words
Pray for love in all that you do
Speak pleasantly unto others
Speak the truth
Be not two-faced
Choose gentle words
Search out the light in people
Find the good in what they do
Be empathetic out of your love
Give thought to others feelings
Consider their perspectives
Show you feel what they feel
Love may consist of doing good deeds
Yet the deepest love is unconditional
Those with God’s Love in their hearts,
Give love without it being earned
Be not partial to anyone
Give love to the unloved
Give attention to the forgotten
Forgive the pariah
