There is a place

Seeing it as accusation, or inuendo, is the fools response, to exposing the self; and as stated: will lead to indignation, at the least, and hatred and retaliation, at the, worst.


Poem Artwork

There is a place, it does exist, I know it can be done, no ties to the planet on which we live,

free in Christ, to feel the love, and become a new one.

 

But that ole self, will mess things up, if it's not kept at bay,

so it must be, exposed and conquered, every step, along of the way.

 

Like the wise man in Proverbs, that loves you for exposing, his, subtle, deceit

we must attain to allowing the light on our darkness to shine, then lay it all,

at His feet.

 

He'll change our hearts, and clear our minds, of self, and the lies we've bought, into

Cause no one is immune, or gets some kind of pass, we must see that the battle,

is with, I, me, myself, what I think I know, and, what I usually, do.

 

It's all throughout His living Word, how lusts of the flesh, men and empires, did, more than just, daunt,
and that the self, is the enemy, our thoughts we cannot trust, that's why he says to take them,

captive unto Christ, and act in truth, rather than, in our own, self-serving, want.

 

So this I pray oh Lord above, please, hear my beckoned plea, I only want to be in You,

and have you abide in me, each and every day.

Give me eyes to see the heart, of whom you send to me, and keep me ever in the truth,

and, not allow self, to have it's way.

"And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked, according to the course of this world; according to the prince of power, of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Amomg them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of the flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature, children of wrath, even as the rest" Eph. 2: 1-3

ROCK,

I heartily reiterate George and Josie's reviews!

We must always keep a teachable spirit before Him, and hunger and thirst to know Him better each moment we live.

"..like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves, also, in all your behaviors.."
I Peter 1:15

Rock,
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach
a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Proverbs 9:9, King James Version


When we bring self into line with his words we become more like him , with him, We cannot alone trust our own ways, or our power. We can only change with his help and instruction. Living to Glorify the Master.
Moving in his spirit yes the title chosen is so good for this one.
Thank you
Bless ya much respect and love,
Joselyn
