Life in the Spirit Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.

Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin a reproach, to any people
May God grant us, God fearing rulers
Not self-serving, corrupt and evil.

Yet Yom Kippur, now has no offering
Cannot atone, no perfect ram
For Yeshua, The Mashiach
Already came, fulfilled God’s plan.

Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?

Such love, that passes knowledge
With which, you may be filled
With all the fullness of God
Through His Spirit, be fulfilled.

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.
