God's Love for You and for Me!

In his poem, Novice Chethan Anil Pinto mulls and muses over the incomparable love of God. The words which strikingly show the poet's touching experience of the incomparable Love of God almost immediately take us along in its sway. Relish it!

People say, God is 'Love', 'Mercy' and 'Kindness'
He is everywhere, even in a tiny atom
They say He is above all, mighty and eternal
No one can compete with Him.
All say God's Love is unconditional
He is an endless ocean of 'Love'
His mercy is everlasting,
wide enough to embrace all generations.
Everything is true and acceptable.
But if we sit with this truth
We will have nothing of it and
No fruit will emerge out of God's bounty.
It is like fetching water from a river
with a full jar refusing to be empty.
Unless we go with an empty heart
We will not be filled at all!
A humble, open and sincere heart
will overflow with the Love of God
The heart which is kind and generous
will receive much more than needed.
