Love News Realities

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 1:21 of the King James Bible)

Lovers’ wedding midst virtual upheaval!!! Confirmed fake news --- yet verily viral surpassing its rival, truth that’s vital though surely dismissed as vainly trivial rumor is still sought for its grand arrival… Thank God for love-propelled spiritual revival through Scriptures’ assertion yon earthly survival. Love-sick toward marital directive!!! Great news of impact--- negative from fatal infection, not positive midst pink of health, surely affirmative vanquishing fears, terribly obstructive… Praise God; His compassionate grace is effective Combatting sin-virus, grievously destructive. Love’s bliss smites hatred-pain that’s traumatic!!! Good news… awesome, but defied by skeptic “Respect our perspective...” says a critic Smiley greetings offend pessimistic Oh, thumbs up signs cheer the optimistic… Thank God for His love-poured blessings so fantastic faith-claimed by every dogmatic or pragmatic. Love life’s firmness starts from crush altitude!!! Trending news lacking factual fortitude Soon are media jokes midst fine rectitude While miracle stories of gratitude Stay flickering in silent solitude… Praise God for His boundless mercy’s infinitude Timeless for sharing love-care’s boundless magnitude.
