The Pinnacle Emotion (New Beatitudes)
The pinnacle emotion is high,
A place for anyone to reach-
It is a reason to rejoice,
And yet, its loss makes us weep.
In the midst of suffering,
Love remains kind-
It has no part with envy,
Arrogance is nothing in its mind.
You shall not find it rude,
But always considerate of others-
Love is not affiliated with hate-
Evil is not its brother.
It scorns of things unrighteous
And encourages that which is pure-
It never leaves one to bear a burden,
But uplifts a sister or brother.
It will give hope to those without,
And endure the times that are frail-
When all else breaks man down,
Love shall never fail!

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is" Romans 12:2
