The Path of L(ov/if)e (2017)


The Path of L(ov/if)e

Oh Jehovah, limitless and Lovemore,
stationed upon an indestructible throne,
your feet pushing through the heavens
and coming to rest on the earth,
clothed in the most brilliant white
and dazzling electrum,
knowing everything and being ignorant of nothing,
your eyes scanning all,
peering into the deepest depths of every heart,
seeing the person and preparing their healing,
offering medicine of spirit and tinctures of Love,
offering and being turned down by the proud,
offering and being accepted by the meek,
giving every good gift and every perfect present,
giving and giving and never stopping,
flooding us with blessings,
blessings that only the righteous will notice,
for the unrighteous call you stingy
and accuse you of being ever far away,
when in reality you have descended from the heavens
and appear before our face,
you surround us on all sides and besiege us with Love,
you entreat us, getting up early and going to bed late,
sending your prophets, declaring messages of peace
and of hope, messages of a beautiful future,
never tiring, never giving up,
for you do not delight in the death of anyone,
you who wish for all to live,
you who are Love, you who exemplify Love
so much that it might as well be your name,
Oh Jehovah, you are my father,
you are the one who caused my birth
and who filled me with breath,
you are the one who has sustained me
and continues to sustain me day by day,
you are the one who made me possible,
you who took a measure of your great Love
and fashioned it into a man,
living, breathing Love,
and if I remain in the statutes of Love
then I will endure forever, because ‘Love never fails’.

Oh Jehovah, guide your child, your son,
and do not allow me to leave the path of Love,
which is the path to life, endless life,
Life Everlasting in the New World,
a World that will be pure and right,
joy like a never-setting sun,
peace like a lover’s warm embrace,
patience like the river carving a mountain,
kindness from hearts trained in selflessness,
goodness from those taught by you,
faith that cannot be shaken but that can shake all things,
mildness like the babbling brook under a cool moon,
self-control from those who have conquered their bodies
by means of Love, Love for you and your son, Jesus,
and, last but first, last but the greatest,
Love that will never be put out,
Love that made the world and everything in it,
Love that cares for and tends to it,
Love that is everything anything allthings.
