Day 8: The Same


Once Upon A Time the world stopped for one second

because everyone stopped for one second.

At that one second everyone became

THE SAME,

yet remained

DIFFERENT

in their created uniqueness.

But

THE SAME

was oh so the best

SAME,

that

the

DIFFERENCES

became oh so beautiful

because

THE SAME

was all that mattered.

THE PEACE that transcends all understanding

ran through their veins

because

THE LOVE that transcends all understanding

ran through through their veins

right to the heart

so that

everyone

acted

THE SAME

because

JOY

PATIENCE

KINDNESS

GOODNESS

GENTLENESS

filled the air.

LOVE wasn't only in the air

because

LOVE was all everyone knew it to be.

THE LOVE

that is

PATIENT

KIND

NOT JEALOUS

DOES NOT BRAG

NOT ARROGANT

DOES NOT ACT UNBECOMING

DOES NOT SEEK ITS OWN

NOT PROVOKED

DOES NOT TAKE ACCOUNT A WRONG SUFFERED

DOES NOT REJOICE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS*

because

THIS LOVE~

"Rejoices with the truth;

Bears all things,

Believes all things,

Hopes all things,

Endures all things" *(I Corinthians 13:4-8)

But then that second ended.

Some remained

THE SAME.

Some didn't know what to do.

Some just went back to who they were the moment before that second~

in DISBELIEF

that

THIS LOVE

was for them.

Oh wouldn't it be wonderful

if

that one second

stayed

THE SAME

& everyone became

THE SAME

in their BELIEVING the ONE

who created

each one so uniquely

DIFFERENT

yet one of the SAME

because of

THE SAME GOD

who

bestows on everyone

"THE SAME LOVE" (listen to the song below)
