Although I’m a writer, my only attraction to poetry is through song lyrics. To me, poets say so very much with so few words. While a poem can be very deep, because of its brevity, I find myself skimming the surface and missing the heartbeat of the poet. This particular fact is not lost on me with regard to the things that God only knows about me and who He says I am to Him. There are times when I just skim the surface, and when I do, I miss the rhythm and deep revelation of His heartbeat for me.

One of the misunderstood things about love is that when truth is spoken in love, love can get a bad rap. Truth is not always warm and fuzzy, but it can be love nonetheless. When we use ourselves as the standard to measure the meaning of love, its reputation suffers.
