You are that distant star
that grabs my attention
when searching
the vast night sky
Shining brighter than most
and farther than my reach
yet I can feel you
touch my soul
My wish tonight is that
someday we'll be together
weary traveler and the star
that guides her
Should you happen to fall
I will sweep you up
and forever hang you
in my heart
- Angela Lane 2004
Love. Love. Love. Our hearts were made to express this tiny word with all that we have. It should know no boundaries. Have no other desire than to be. Love between mother and child. Love between man and woman. Love for a friend. Love for a stranger. Love for Jesus Christ. Love for the Almighty God. Love. I want it all. I want Love to saturate my everything. I want it to be visible in all that I do. No limits, no exceptions. With all that we lose in a lifetime, think of all that we gain in one expression of love.
Lord, give me a heart of flesh. Take the parts of my heart that are still like stone and make them soft. Make them like that of your son. Give me the courage to give fully and without hesitation. Bring me closer to you. I give you my life, Lord. Lead me to be an example of your grace and love. To you there are no words to express my love. No song, nothing that could come close to what I feel when you are with me. True love and contentment. I am in love. I give you my all. My heart overflows with the Holy Spirit and I am in awe. Tears. Love. I am whole with you. Without you I am lost. Forever in your hands.

Angela,
From one aspiring writer to another: This poem is a wonderful expression!
Your post made me think back over the past year. I remember being more passionate about my first love, Jesus Christ, than ever before. I began to live with a new simplicity. I am so thankful for the genuine love that fills my heart now.
Jesus is the love of my life. I pray that He will always have first place in my heart.
I can relate to what Beth said. I view relationships in light of the Cross now. I can love people with a Christlike love.
My life in Christ gives me freedom to love wholeheartedly.
I John 4:18-19
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
"We love him, because he first loved us."
Oh the beauty of the love of the Father! May my love for Him grow and may He always love through me with a genuine love!
Thank you for your posts. This one was a special blessing to me.
