Unfailing Love of God

1 John 3:1 & 2

How great of a love the Father bestowed,
We being called His children as echoed;
Since the world knows none of us not,
And are as unknowing Him as they ought;
With as being the children of God now,
It does not appear what we shall vow;
We shall be like Him as we live daily,
For we shall see Him as He is truly;
God has some qualities that are natural,
He is all knowing, powerful and eternal;
The rest of His qualities are of ethical,
God is holy, righteous, and is practical;
His morals make Him faithful and kind,
He is full of mercy and love for to bind;
The abundance of His love is what thrills,
Deep in our hearts as compassion fills;
To have a God as He does can flabbergast,
As disrespectful being throughout our past;
It's merely just His way in keeping in view,
For those three little words, "I love you."
