It's hard to explain the surreal complexity
The majestic power that comes together through the form
Of five letters that create the identity of true love.
Even at this moment as I rattle my mind to try to express
This unfathomable, unfailing, all powerful, unending love...
I realize that my vocabulary is not vast enough -
But neither is the dictionary's -
Because mere words are not sufficient to explain the five letters that create love's anatomy.
J - Just as how staring at the sun leaves a lingering image, even the thought of this limitless mercy burns an imprint on the retinas of my soul.
E - Every part of my being trembles at how much He sacrificed for me to just be alive
And He still wants me,
Bare, unworthy, unsweetened, raw and not cut into the easy - to - swallow mold of this world that He knows is too small and too tight for me to fit in.
S - Still He gives me, who is just a spec that was chosen, permission to use His identity to solve the problems of my world, from seeking healing to finding my favourite pen.
U -Ultimately unlike anything my existence has experienced, He graces me with His presence and wants me to live in that coat of warmth.
To bask in the light of the son of man, the gift that sustains and saves us.
S -Strangely through Him I become worthy of even thinking of Him, of having a relationship with Him, of being in love with Him, because He is love.
Checking my mental dictionary again, I find that I already knew the answer to the question of what defines love.
And simply five letters appear ...
J - E - S - U -S. ❤️

This one is really dear to me because I'm not taking on a persona with problems to fix / recognize, but rather this is about my personal experience with th the only true problem -solver. I really hope it really inspired you to evaluate who Jesus is to to you and if you don't know Him I hope it makes you want to learn because He is the only reason I have confidence to write, to love, to live, to seek joy, peace and security. I hope you find your home in Him. I love you all.
