God Restores
“To revive the spirit, of the humble
Revive the heart, of those contrite”
Our Master Potter, can reshape
We His clay, remold aright.
Our Personal Baggage
For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.
Shame-Blame Cycle
But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.
Shame, Disclaim, Blame
When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.
Love not the World
Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?
Teach us to number our days
We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.
His Earthen Vessels
We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.
Be Faithful, Endure
So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.
Blind Spots
Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?
Escape Temptations
For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.
