Love's Embrace

What love is this?
For one to offer his life for a friend
Though hated for the sacrifice

What love is this?
For a parent to receive a child with open arms
No matter how hated and betrayed

What love is this?
For a shepherd to look for a single lamb for fear of its life
Even with ninety-nine others

What love is this?
For a diver to give everything he owns
For a single pearl

What love is this?
For a person to offer food and shelter to a complete stranger
Without caring about the person's past

What love is this?
For Him to sacrifice perfection for filth
For those who made themselves strangers to Him
