Love Builds Up (1 Corinthians 8:1)

Oh LOVE! How unique is your being.
How enthralling it is that you captured the heart of God.
Your existence brought forth 'creation,'
Knowing well in sin humans would fall. 
Yet, you were selfless in your essence
Clothed with a self-effacing robe,
To build and coruscate life to the world.

God chose ‘You’ over "knowledge" 
Knowing that love builds, not demolishes. 
Though the world projects love as "self,"
We fathom that it is "others."
Though the world holds the posters of 
"Individualism and Humanism,"
The raison d’ĂȘtre we hold is God’s love.

Afterall, what is LOVE when we cannot GIVE? 
Love is experienced only when it is dispensed.
Not confining to the emotions of the soul alone, 
It transcends to ‘sacrifice.’
In the four lettered word of “LOVE”
Ingrained with the encompassing quintessence of ‘BUILD,’
May we choose ‘love’ to 'build' the church of Christ.
