Keep your heart pure Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Knowing or Obeying?

More than knowing, is our growing,
Not understanding, but undertaking,
More than defining, are we applying?
Not just saying, do keep obeying.

Now godliness with contentment,
Is surely, great gain,
God shall supply, all your need ,
By Christ Jesus, we obtain.

And so instead, of our resentment,
Ignore offenses, forgive their views,
Be not bound, by negativity,
Instead in love, share His Good News.

Again, recall our God provides.
An escape, when we are tempted.
He will rescue, as we obey.
For in Christ, we are protected.

So ever, give thanks to our God;
Yes, all through Christ Jesus;
To spread His fragrance, and knowledge;
For in triumph, He always leads us!

Yes! “Be strong, and of good courage;
Do not fear, nor be afraid;
For the LORD your God, goes with you;
He will not leave, you nor forsake.”

And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.

So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?

LORD, change me within;
In repentance, I come;
Wholly cleanse and renew me;
Forgiven fully, by God’s Son.

“Lord, examine and cleanse me;
Search and prove me within;
Try my mind, and my heart;
Do reveal, where I still sin”.
