Keeping Kosher?

Then Rabbi Yeshua, our Messiah
Replied: “Do you not perceive
Whatever enters a man from outside
Cannot defile him”…be not deceived.

Are we seeing beyond
Life’s heartaches and pain
Great suffering, and sorrow
…Yet see God, bring gain?

With destruction, of the Temple
No more offerings, blood sacrifice
Instead of faith, in God’s salvation
Rabbis decided ‘works’, will suffice.

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

Know God answers our prayer
By His rules, not mine
So, be willing to wait on Him
His terms and schedule, divine.

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.
