Agape Discipleship

by Laura Vana-Husband

Go to the world

Every person without judgment

And make disciples

Teach the message of truth

Shared through action and not by word alone

For people will know by their love

I have known by this demonstration

While observing love in motion

In the form of selfless service

Caring for needs without request

Sacrificing home and freedom and privacy

To care completely for another

Guarding safety and constantly comforting

Enduring endless complaint

To teach and relearn basics of living

Sharing this life with another

Not from mutual benefit

But solely sacrificial love

Demonstrating truth of discipleship

Challenging the half hearted

Identifying and modeling

This discipleship of agape.
