On Monday, Christian influencer Lindsey Gurk shared a beautiful rhyme to explain God’s love.
She rhymed in an Instagram video:
Show his love if you want others to know him.
You must first show his love.
The same outrageous that you received from above.
Remember when he found you? When he stood patiently at your door?
I remember how he found me broken on that bathroom floor.
When I was at my worst, I cried out and he still saved me.
It’s not what I deserved it’s both confusing and amazing.
Not a transactional relationship for I got the better deal.
He took all my shame and ugly. He took it all so I could heal.

He didn’t scream in my face.
Didn’t tell you must repent.
There was no anger in his voice.
No condemnation nor dissent.
So if you want to plant the seeds remember the growing is his part.
We are not the savior.
Release the anger from your heart.
The broken? The betrayed? The ones that are in crisis?
He calls those people to him.
He calls out prideful self-righteous.
We view relationships as tit for tat.
Scratch my back, I will yours but that’s not how I was treated when he met me on that floor.
It’s a strange kind of relationship filled with forgiveness from above.
You say that you know Jesus, now show it with his love.
Gurk explained that she had been struggling to express her view of God’s love, and Monday, it came out in “a rhyme.”
“This is so beautiful you should put it into print. This is worth framing. And he found me at the bottom of a jail cell,” one person commented.
“I love this…it totally encapsulates how Jesus meets us in our mess! 🙏🏻” another wrote.
Gurk often finds creative ways to express her faith. She previously made a humorous video that played on Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel” song. Gurk depicted what it would be like if Jesus was literally driving her car.
In another video, she shared how she was praying and accidentally called Jesus her pet name for her husband, “Schmoop.”
“Tell me something like this has happened to you too? 😆” she shared. “I was so caught off guard I just started cackling.”
Over two million people follow Gurk because she shows her followers that life is messy, imperfect, funny and still full of hope through Jesus.
