Selfless living focused on the other Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

RELATIONSHIPS

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

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.

A marriage, run dry
The tank, now on empty
Warm feelings, run cold
Though once, love was plenty.

God calls us together
In Christ, become one
Through Him, learn to love
That our marriage be won.

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

One-on-one, in small groups
Much time, mentoring, Jesus discipled
Equipped and trained, ‘how’ to obey
To reproduce, go make disciples.

So let us focus, on Jesus’ mission
Train in outreach, disciple-making
Equip the saints, reach the world
Role modeling, and mentoring!

Shake us and wake us
Revive us, O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit, be poured.

So, He trained and role-modeled
Not spectators, but partakers
As He discipled His followers
To be faithful, disciple-makers.
