I
CANNOT BE A MANIPULATOR.
ONLY THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST SHOULD
REIGN IN ME,
INSTEAD OF MY SELFISH LOVE.
NEITHER HONESTY NOR LOVE SHOULD BE
THE WEAPON TO INCITE GUILT IN ANOTHER.
HURT MAY TEMPT ME, BUT NO ONE SHOULD LOVE ME
IF I KEEP A RECORD OF THEIR WRONGS.
AND EVEN THOUGH THIS LOVE IS HARD TO COME BY,
NEVER SHOULD ITS WORTH OF GOLD BE TRADED
SO THAT I CAN HAVE A FORCED PENNY.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS
HOW CHRIST HAS LOVE FOR ME THAT HE
ILLUSTRATED THROUGH HIS LIFE, DEATH, AND
RESURRECTION.
THERE IS NO NEED TO MANIPULATE,
ESPECIALLY NOT JESUS BECAUSE HE HAS
ENOUGH LOVE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD--AND THIS KIND OF LOVE
NEVER FAILS.
