Love ©Dawn Minott |birthMONTH, Week 5

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Beforeword: We end this journey where all true journeys with God should lead—love. The kind of love that transforms. The kind of love that sees God in each other. The kind of love that doesn’t just stay hidden away in the privacy of our prayers but spills out into our words, our actions, our world. In this final week of April, as I conclude the restorative quest of birthMONTH 2025, I embrace love as choice, action, power!

Join me in making this last week a celebration of the greatest calling we have been given: to love and be loved.

The Shape of Love

Love looks like open hand to hold, console
It sounds like laughter shared with no abandon
Like forgiveness offered before words come easy

Love wears every color
speaks every language
holds every story

It is patient in the waiting
It is fierce in the protecting
It is gentle when the world is harsh

Love is not something we earn—
it is Someone
Someone we meet again and again
until we learn to live as if love is all we have
Because it is
Because He is

Love is God reaching for us
before we knew how to reach back
Love chases—
pursues the hearts that keep running
Like a bridge, it carries over troubled waters

Love is the beginning,
the journey,
the home.

The challenge: How to participate

  • In these last days of April, look for small ways to show love—send a word of encouragement, listen deeply to someone, forgive quickly, offer help without being asked, or spend unrushed time with someone who needs it.
  • Begin each day with a simple prayer: “God, show me how to love today.”
