A Different Kind Of Love

I wrote this poem a few years ago. Hopefully it can give just a glimpse of what Jesus' wonderful love is like.

A Different Kind of Man... A Different Kind of Love

There is a love the world

Does not understand.

It came to our dying earth

From a different kind of Man.

He told them they were wrong,

He told them they were sick,

He told them to repent before

Life's clock would cease to tick.

But the world felt criticized.

The world began to hate.

So they hardened their dead hearts.

They shut the open gate.

They did not want to hear that

They had a cancer He called sin.

He was the only cure,

But they would not let Him in.

He told an orphan girl.

She was very much afraid.

She believed His words of love.

"What must I do, Sir, to be saved?!"

"Come, my child", He said.

"Repent and follow me!

I'll carry you on my back,

Your Father I will be."

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

His mercy was so great!

She knew not how His words of love

Could be interpreted as hate.

Other children came.

Their cancer He did heal,

But the unbelieving heart of man

Did not get His eternal seal.

Love's words are sometimes hidden.

You may not think them kind.

Until the Holy Cure reveals them

To your heart and mind.
