A Pure Heart

God calls us to love
Have a heart that is pure
Not blemished, nor selfish
Repentant, in Him secure.

Now I’m freed, from being ‘Broigas’
Am reconciled, fully forgiven
And those ‘Broigas,’ toward me
I share forgiveness, God has given.

Though we love to be loved
If despised, love abides
For agape love, is of God
And such love overrides.

Yet our forgiveness, depends not
If hurt and pain, if we’re grieved
Nor our feelings, their responses
If apologies, are received.

How do you treat others
As a giver, or taker?
To unburden your load
Or to share, God’s favors?

Love bears and believes
Love hopes all things
Shows patience and grace
Seeks clear understanding.

For our child learns to walk
In our footsteps each day
Let us follow the Master
Lest they learn other ways.

Yesterday’s gone
And tomorrow’s unknown
We have, just today
To invest, wisely own.

So, through seasons of life
As God leads to the next
Do trust and obey Him
Daily, enter His rest.

So, do drink your cup
Trust God, and obey
He is with you, midst sufferings
Know He’s present, always.
