be love d

if anything
faith has taught 
me
love

how to love
how to be loved

beloved

be
  love

and 

be
 loved

in our reformed 
experience 
we lift up the 
beauty of 
unconditional love 

i've heard it
preached
taught
and prayed

and...
but...

sometimes 
other words get in the way 
of
love
and loving

words 
that are 
get rooted in 
conditions 
and conditional

like

righteousness
piety
morality

not saying
these words
are bad

just saying
at times
love
can get
tarnished
and side
tracked
by 
such words
and attitudes
and moods

the greatest commandment...

it was 
love
and be loved
