My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Quintessential Love

THE QUINTESSENTIAL LOVE

beyond anything I ever experienced
as well as imagination's fantasy
for sure...any expectations...
Infinitely beyond my first love
so Delicate...Humbling...Undeserved
His overwhelming acceptance with
such an Intimate Embrace of 
Forgiveness that took my breath
away along with all my guilt 
and shame from that now 
unbelievable decision to end
my precious baby girl's life
despite all my doubts that 
lingered... days running into 
weeks and months...a sadness
no one could touch and a crime
I could not forgive but only 
punish with endless recriminations
but then...that invitation came to
what they said was a healing retreat
and it was there that I experienced
His Quintessential Love like no other's
a Merciful Release from my dark 
dungeon of death into the Paradise
of His Everlasting Light...so 
Gentle...even "Tender" is too
harsh a description...yet Powerful -
a Blazing Fire that Consumed my
sorrowful past with His Abiding
Peaceful Presence that in my mind
I could envision His Look of Love
that Calmed my staggered heart
Inviting me to Follow Him as
my Lord and Savior which I so
desperately desired...He who IS
Love...Joy...Peace and so now I
Live FOR Him...and want to 
Invite YOU to "Taste and See"
because He is Real...Alive...and
you too can Know Him...Know
His Quintessential Love...Mercy
Forgiveness...in fact...Love that
is Infinite...Eternal...Perfect..so
simply...Ask and it Shall Be
YOURS...

Reflection / Discussion:

-How does the Lord treat repentant sinners?
-Have you experienced forgiveness for abortion from
 the Lord...yourself...your child? 
-Is all that possible? 
-Have you ever experienced 'Quintessential Love'?
-What was it like? 
-What were the circumstances?
-If not, ask Him to reveal Himself to you.
-How can we help others to 'see' the truth of life?
-Get to know and understand the facts of  pregnancy / abortion.
-Pray daily and get involved in some way with the prolife movement.
