Love...What it's not and what it is

I fell in love not because I was seduced
Or He took me out to eat and I was able to buy anything on the menu
I fell in love with Him not because He promised to take me around the world and back again
Or showered me wit diamond rings and shows at Carnegie Hall
I fell in love with Him not because He kissed me in such a way that I was left speechless
Or because of the way He held my hand
I fell in love with Him not because He swept me off my feet
But
I fell in love with Him because He died for me
I was guilty and the charges were dropped because He suffered the penalty
He hung on a tree
Became a curse for me
Humiliated He was for sinner like me
He never put me on blast
He never wagged His finger in my face because it was too busy planted up on the cross held by a nail in His palm
It should have been me up there
It should have been me whipped and bruised
It should of been me
But I received grace because divinity wrapped itself in humanity
How can I not love Him
How can I reject His love that He so willingly offers to me
He did not just say, "Daughter I love you"
But He showed me what Love would do
He taught me what Love should do
Love is what I will do
Love
