God Searches Each Heart

“For he shall be like a tree;
Planted by the waters;
Spreads out its roots, by the river,”
Godly sons, and daughters.
Empty Rituals or Jesus?

While Jesus said, “I am the way,
The truth, and the life,
No one comes to the Father,
Except through Me”….alone suffice.
Ignore Offenses…Release Resentments

And so instead, of our resentment,
Ignore offenses, forgive their views,
Be not bound, by negativity,
Instead in love, share His Good News.
Longing for His Likeness

Like David, daily seek the LORD,
“I will see Your face in righteousness”,
His prayer and longing, be transformed,
“Be satisfied when in Your likeness.”
Teach Us to Number Our Days

Lord, teach us to number;
Our days, that we apply;
Our hearts unto wisdom;
Lest wasted, dissatisfied.
Guarding Our Heart

So not yielding, to my flesh;
But trust His Word, be obeying;
Guard my heart, from hardening;
Keep me LORD, from straying.
Loving or Snubbing?

And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.
Addressing Leaven (How did Jesus love hypocrites?)

So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?
Dwelling with God

Though so finite and fallen;
Now dwell in His Presence;
Exalting and worshipping;
His glory, and essence.
Get Rid of Old Baggage!

For if still, ungodly attitudes;
With our mindset, still unchanged;
We’ve not brought, all to Jesus;
So be transformed, wholly changed.
