Is it the thought that counts?

Or can I count on the action you take

Love is active

Not just a thought

It starts there

Then gives birth to kindness

It is patient 

Willing to wait

Considering the other person first

That’s what Jesus did

He put me first

Stretched out on a cross

And died

For me

While I was putting myself first

Lost in blatant sin

He demonstrated His love for me

When He said

Father

Not my will

But Your will be done
