" Love Doesn' t Hurt."

"Love Doesn't Hurt."

Love has got a bad rap from those who
never experienced it before.
They say all kinds of derogatory things about
it and you hear the negative more and more.
Yet if they knew what love was and really felt it
there wouldn't be a bad thing to say.
They would have the patience to overcome
any obstacle that satan would throw their way.
If they knew what love was they would also know
the true meaning of respect.
They would know you don't get the Milk for Free
they'd know buying the cow is the way that's correct.
There would be words of encouragement instead of cursing
abuse of all forms would cease to exist in your life.
When you know love you know of the marvellous
creation she is when Yah gave you a wife.
Love doesn't hurt but lust does it is the very spirit
of satan and its spirit covers humanity.
Lust is a poison that truly takes lives and destroys
them lust is the cause of divorce in matrimony.
Love doesn't hurt but heals hearts and lives
it changes a person from the darkness to the light.
Love will always be honest and caring and no matter
the situation or the circumstance love will turn out right.
Love teaches and understands love shares and
it gives with no limit at all.
Love listens to the cries of the brokenhearted
love is a shoulder to lean on when you call.
Lust is selfish and is greedy lust is never satisfied
but continually must be fed.
Lust is a part of jealousy, envy, and hatred
lust is a spirit that will leave you dead.
Love doesn't hurt and doesn't cause pain love
doesn't cause lonliness or depression.
Love is peace, longsuffering, meekness and is kind
love is joy and happiness but never aggression.
Love doesn't hurt and is not abusive love doesn't
make a fist and will never punch you in the face.
But lust will destroy you and is capable of murder
lust is one spirit you should pray Yah will erase.
