A Mystery, you say?
And well it is. . . and all the Way.
No greater Love has been bestowed.
And for all that, did you know that
Because of it your love can grow?
Love for every woman, child and man,
As you tell yourself, "I can, I can, I
Can suffer mistreatment, anxiety,
Misunderstanding and pain not only once
But again and again for by that Cross
We are freed. . . FREED OF ALL LESSER THINGS. 
To reach the heights of Glory we Need not Wings."
Why else the pain, suffering and such?
You say you do love Him. . . well just how much? 
The Lord, Jesus, knows what its all about.
To get us to listen He may have to shout.
But still, thats not His manner of dealing
With us all.. . his is a QUIET, GENTLE, LOVING CALL.
He is also patient and very kind.
If we do but listen to Him
We will find that the things that
MATTER are BEYOND AND ABOVE
Because of the CROSS.
THE PATHWAY OF LOVE.
