Perspective and Attitude

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.

And who doesn’t strive
To achieve in our flesh
Instead, learn to wrestle
With God, till we’re blessed.

Have you learnt to release
Every burden you bear
Let go of each weight
And sin, to God’s care.

Thus guard your heart
Take steps to ensure
‘Tis not overtaken
By those things, impure.

To bring hope, facing trials
Temptations and testing
God’s Spirit in us
Protecting, perfecting.

May our wants and our will
Be in line, with the Lord
Lest our hearts become hard
And resentments, are stored.

Get rid of the junk
In your mind and heart
Wrong thoughts and motives
That mar, tear apart.

Yes, be an encourager
With a Barnabus heart
All are called to encourage
Not criticize, tear apart.
