Our Chief Pursuit

“By this My Father is glorified,
That you bear much fruit
So, you will be My disciples”
Daily abide …our chief pursuit.

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

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.

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

So, renew and revive us
Restore us, we pray
Send the fire of Your Presence
Come down Lord, this day.

Yes learn, to first yield
‘Thy will, not mine’
Be dead, to ourself
‘LORD the glory, all Thine’.

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

And do cultivate joy
Your heart upward raised
Instead of your grumbling
Thanksgiving and praise.
