Encourage others in the LORD Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

A Pure Heart

God calls us to love
Have a heart that is pure
Not blemished, nor selfish
Repentant, in Him secure.

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

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

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.

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

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