Below is an absolutely beautiful poem written by
my colleague Toni's second cousin, Edna Tolento. Toni sent this to me via e-mail today and
I was absolutely wowed over it. Edna shared in her e-mail: "I want
my life with Jesus to be the greatest love story of all time." Isn't
that beautiful???
Thank you Edna for allowing God's Spirit to
guide your pen as you wrote these beautiful words and thank you for allowing me to
share it with my readers on Ruthie's Corner. Keep shining! May this poem bless everyone who comes to read these beautiful words.
The Greatest Love Story
She weeps,
He consoles her
She falls,
He catches her
She needs,
He provides for her
She is lost,
He finds her
She questions,
He answers her
She is angered,
He calms her
She is sad,
He cheers her
She is harmed
He defends her
She is heartbroken,
He heals her
She is in danger,
He protects her.
She is rejected,
He accepts her
She doubts,
He reassures her
She repents,
He forgives her
She rebels,
He is patient with her
She is weak,
He holds her
She is alone,
He accompanies her
She makes mistakes,
He corrects her
She leaves,
He waits for her
She yearns,
He satisfies her
She is misunderstood,
He understands her
She is scared,
He watches over her
She grieves,
He comforts her
She is tired,
He refreshes her
She feels unworthy,
He treasures her
She is forgotten
He remembers her
She looks up,
He smiles down at her
She dreams,
He inspires her
She believes,
He believes in her
She is faithful,
He restores her
She forgives,
He renews her
She prays,
He listens to her
She praises,
He adores her
She surrenders,
He blesses her
She loves,
He loves her
She lives for him,
He died for her.
Jesus, You are the lover of my soul.
