A Tale of Two Brothers

So younger or older
Both need to repent
Whether passion or pride
Instead, live as Father meant.

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.

Know our days upon earth
Our stewardship of time
All our talents and treasures
Belong to the Divine.

May the LORD increase
In my life, day by day
And may I decrease
I earnestly pray.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

So, we lift every hurt
Release all, to Him
Now laid upon Christ
Walk in grace, not sin.

And here, Jesus reminds
It’s not what we say
Our words can be empty
It is whether, we obey.

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.
