Change—Ovi Poetry Challenge

The music took me from my head
down through my heart as Spirit led
me to the Words that I once read
that God is known through love.

Oh, may I make whatever change,
reject all fires that You find strange,
may thoughts unworthy rearrange.
I hunger for Your love.

1 John 4:7-8
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Leviticus 10:1
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.

    1. A friend of mine told me that we have to get our hunger for God out of our heads and into our hearts. I was surprised when 1 John 4 seemed to confirm that by claiming we know God through love because He is love. Blessings to you, Mary!
