If I love You

Written by Judy Johnson
April 5, 2008


If I love You -
I will take out the trash.


If I love You -
I will drag myself from the busy morning, day or night to open
the loving Bible and sit down to read about how to love you better.


If I love You -
I will stop whatever I am doing and kneel or quietly close my eyes
and pray to be saved by your Love.


If I love You -
I will want to give up my bad habits.


If I love You -
I will regularly go to bed early to stay healthy and be nourished.


If I love You -
I will take time to chat with you.


If I love You -
I will cut my time on the computer.


If I love You -
I will wake up early, around 6 or 7 am to say 'thank you' for your wisdom.


If I love You -
I will stop worrying so much about cooking to please others.


If I love You -
I will stop watching too much T.V. and pay more attention to You.


These are 'lists' of 'If I love You's' and 'wills'.
But without Your love, I am nothing.


It is better to have Your love in me to do the things willingly
So I may find delight in serving You.
