Introduction
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt when you were not around them? Maybe you had a great relationship with someone and before you knew it, it was over. There is a love that is deeper than any depth and higher than any height. It is not the love of a man and a woman who are married. It is the love that God has for mankind that is an elevated love.
Paul wrote about the love of God in the eighth chapter in the book of Romans. He wrote that he was persuaded that neither death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature is able to separate us from the love of God which is in Jesus our Lord and Savior.
The word love appears in the King James Version of the Bible 311 times in 281 verses of scripture. That's a lot of love. Many times in the Bible it is written that God will take care of those who love Him. The question now becomes, what does elevated love mean?
Elevated love is a love that transcends the love of men and women for one another. It is a love that gives constantly. It is a love that will sacrifice itself for the betterment of the one who is loved. It is the love of God that was in Jesus Christ. I know many men have fought and have given their lives for our freedom. Jesus is the only one who was perfect in every way. There was no sin in Him and really could not just be killed like we can be today. The Bible says, "The wages of sin is death." Death has no hold on those who are sinless.
Jesus could not die until He gave up the ghost. While on the cross he said, "Into your hands I commend my spirit." Then with a loud sigh, He gave up the ghost. This is elevated love. A love so strong and powerful that nothing could stop it. It will do what it is intended to do no matter what.
It is a love that comes by a relationship. You become one with God and He becomes a part of you and you a part of Him. This love is available to everyone. God has held nothing back and will extend this love to you.
Elevated Love
OUR LOVE ASCENDS HIGHER THAN THE EAGLE'S AERIE
ELEVATED SENSES AUGMENT OUR PASSION
FETTERED TOGETHER ONE WITH ANOTHER
FERVENT FLAMES GLOW AS SPARKS TURN ASHEN
INSPIRATION CONTINUALLY DESIRED
AS OUR SOULS TOUCH WE BECOME ONE ESSENCE
YOU A PART OF ME AND ME A PART OF YOU
MY HEART GLOWS DUE TO YOUR LUMINESCENCE
YOUR SPLENDOR IS TOO ELEGANT FOR ME
FIRE EMBODIED IN A CONFIGURATION
CONSTRUCTED BY THE ADMIRATION WE SHARE
NO PROPENSITY FOR ABERRATION
SHACKLED TOGETHER WITH NO SEPARATION
FROM GLORY TO GLORY WE CONTINUE OUR FLIGHT
TO HEAVEN'S DOORWAY AS I REALIZE
TRUE LOVE CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN YOUR LIGHT
