POEM STARTER
If I count the ways I love you...
Write a story or poem that could have this as its title.
Eternal Love
I love you. The love you have for me is enduring and forever.
I have failed you day after day, but regardless of that you love me.
Your love for me never changes
The love you have towards me, nothing and nobody can separate
Neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers
You are love itself
Your love is priceless
Your love is abounding
Your love is better than life
You have demonstrated your love for us
Because of your love we are not consumed
You are steadfast and sovereign
You are gracious and forgiving
You have saved us
You are faithful and good
You are infinite and wise
You are omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, holding all of creation in your hands
You determined the number of stars and know them all by name
You created us in your image and formed us
You are just and merciful
You are holy and perfect
You are a jealous God who desires our whole heart
You are gracious and pure
You are patient and slow to anger
You know what’s best for us
You are my Father
Three in one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Your wrath burns against sin and you do not leave the guilty unpunished,
Yet you sent your son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and bear our punishment
Jesus took the weight of the cup of wrath on Himself so that we who deserve judgment, might taste your mercy instead
Even though we don’t deserve it, you love us
By your mercy and Christ’s blood, the old has passed away and the new has come
I love you
