Sonnet: God’s Mystical Love

The love of God’s the strongest one we know!
The more we realize, stronger ’twill grow;
Defeating anyone, the strongest foe;
A debt to God, unique, all creatures owe.

The devils know this truth better than man,
That love divine will one surely win;
They try to tempt men yet in ways they can;
By nature, man falls often in sin.

But there’s redemption for all sinners still;
God will forgive the biggest sins of man;
The penitent heart/ soul, God’s grace will fill;
The soul is back on the road to Heaven.

This is the mystery of God’s creation,
An open-secret to god-fearing men.
