Time to Start Loving

Too often, each day
It’s all about me
My feelings and thoughts
Too self-centered, I see.

So, surrender my rights
This day is not mine
Knowing all is from God
Not my will, but Thine.

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

Not to let God’s Word
Depart from their heart
But, teach to their offspring
Be diligent, to guard.

As a soul, with a body
Ignore not your spirit
Jesus offers new life
Will you ask Him, come fill it?

Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?

Man is driven by sin
So focused, enticed
Instead, see God’s perspective
Stay centered, on Christ.

Then, instead of the darkness
We rather, shine bright
In place of the evil
Share His truth and light.

If you are willing, obedient
The good you shall eat
But if you refuse and rebel
…. be devoured, by defeat.

Our nation is filled
Churches lukewarm, some dead
Claiming they’re Christian
But God’s Spirit has fled.
