The fragrance of Christ’s love

Each one of us is a loving thought of God
For love is the source of our being
A perfect love that never dies
A love that knows no ill.

Christ's love conveys an inspiring message
A message of joy that whispers confidence.
A joy that supersedes the voice of angels
A joy that reveals the beauty of God.

Christ's love is like a rose flower
Its fragrant love never fades
The sun, with radiant shining, enhances the beauty
When scented, its sweet fragrance fills everywhere.

Christ's love is like the air we breathe
It gives life and revives all around it
Courage is the strength of Christ's love.
His love is our comfort and peace.

Christ's love has a splendid beauty
Beauty conveys confidence and trust
Like the breath of wind, love blooms with a fresh fragrance
Beauty transforms love into comfort and rest.

Christ's love is like a rainbow of many colours
A rainbow is a symbol of union
God's love is like a garden in every soul
With Him, we are one in body, soul and spirit.

The fragrance of Christ's love is eternal
Though the faulty form we wear will fade away
Its fresh beauty will bloom to prepare us for eternity
at the dawn of afterlife with the angels.
