Love Does!

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 24, 2013

Bob Goff's new book illustrates how and why…

Religion can be quick to say
what's not allowed, what's not okay.
But Jesus had another way.
He simply said, "Love does!"

Some theologians complicate
what seems at first glance fairly straight.
To know God is to celebrate
because that's what love does.

And while we live with questions still,
we'd best admit we always will.
Our job is just to find the thrill
in doing what love does.

And so today I'll do my best
to try and pass the "love does" test
by making someone's life more blest
convinced that's what love does.
