God Made Love

Butterflies. The birds and the bees:
Whose creation are all these?
Feelings that convert into 2-hour talks,
Moonlight for romantic walks,
Diamonds for engagement rings:
Whose Hand supplies all these things?
Think back to the original boy-meets-girl:
Who planted Eve in Adam’s world?
Encounter begets attraction;
Blazing into an inferno of passion...
A unity of purity- a holy song-
It’s been His doing all along.

God made love- it’s His design
That two souls; two lives intertwine.
When man finds in woman treasure,
Their joy can’t surpass God’s pleasure.
It’s He, not Venus or Cupid that
Oversees the fusion of human hearts.
He’s behind it all; there’s many a hint
Just observe our anatomy’s blueprint:
Lips needn’t be this soft to chew or grind
He musta made them with kissing in Mind.
Husband and wife unite- a perfect fit
That’s not by accident, is it?
Instinct. Desire. Heartbeat. Hormones
The Creator built passion into our bones.

If love is God’s idea in the first place
Then it’s about time we pled His case.
We’ve side-stepped Him and gone our way;
Hence all the confusion today.
We’ve reduced romance to lust and laughter
And thus we define ‘Happily Ever After’.
In losing obedience and trust
We’ve ended with fistfuls of dust.

God made love- it’s not at all complicated:
Eros- just as Agape- is premeditated.
It’s a glimpse into a world above
It too is a model of His love.
For God is Love; and love is a story
Of man and woman united for His glory;
So the choice of whom, how and when
Must follow His holy intent;
Then every word and touch and kiss
Fulfils first not our wish- but His.
The tiniest attraction blooms beautiful
If it’s shaped and guided by His will:
Into tender; committed harmony-
That’s the way He meant romance to be.
God is love- He’s the vital ingredient
It sure won’t thrive if He’s left out of it.
Two souls plus God- One from three
A reflection of Himself: a Trinity.
