Love is Prayer

[Gerry]

I wish to share something I see as beautiful. When I ran across this some time back, The name of my true love came to mind and this burned into my heart. I hope it will bless someone here!

I pray for you and yet I cannot frame
In words the thousand wishes of my heart.
It is a prayer only to speak your name
And think of you when we are far apart.
God has not need of words. He knows our love,
And though my lips are mute, I bow my head
And know He leans to listen from above,
And understand the things that are not said.
For love is prayer---and so prayers for you
Mount upward unto Him eternally---
They are not many, and they are not few,
All are as one that ever seems to be
Thus do I pray for you, and cannot say
When I begin, or when I cease, to pray.

Gerry this is beautiful - I guess love is a prayer

Indeed love is a prayer, just as love is a song! If you are alone and think of the one you love and just Whisper that name, in love, you will "feel" the prayer!

I have brought this back because so many people missed this first time. It touched my heart long ago and I believe it will touch the heart of many others who may read these words.

As Christians, our whole Faith is based in, on, by and through Love. Jesus is nothing more or less than Love Personified. Indeed we are told in His written Word that God IS Love.

Therefore take away Love and there is no God.

Gerry,
You are right.. being a new person on board here I had not seen it before. Thanks for bringing it back up.
Your Comment that God is Love is an understatment.
Jesus himself said the the Greatest Commnadment is that "We Love one another"
I could quote many other verses to back your statment.. but that is the Most important one.

May God Bless you Soul

That's beautiful Gerry, and indeed I missed it the first time around. Thanks for bringing it up again.

I'm so thankful that there is nothing, or anyone in this world that has the power to take the Love of God away from us

May we always remember to Love and pray for each other, as we have been commanded to do.

I agree! Romans 8:38,39: "I have become absolutely convinced that neither death nor life, neither messenger of Heaven nor monarch of earth, neither what happens today nor what may happen tomorrow, neither a power from on high nor a power from below, nor anything else in God's whole world has any power to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord!" JBP!

Thanks for the great reminder! Just think what could be accomplished in this world if love were in the hearts of all people.
