SPIRITUAL MATURITY

Spiritual Maturity

I thank you, oh Lord for each breath that I take

For lessons I learned when mistakes I did make

I thank you for giving me the spirit to live

And allowing me the honor of wanting to give

This level of spirit to nurture you gave me

To understand life and how humans forsake Thee

I stand up for righteousness in all loads we bear

I even desire people to follow through with care

I am finding that people don’t follow the way

I find that they don’t follow through in what they say

I pray that they realize their actions impact

And hope that with Jesus it isn’t an act

To say you’re a follower of His Holy word

But don’t follow through on the words that are heard

Is Jesus not present in the life that you hurt

Would you make an excuse to Him to alert

That something came up, and the plans now have changed

Do your words and your actions seem all rearranged?

When you dishonor a brother, you dishonor our God

You can fool your brother, but the Lord knows it’s odd

When you promise another~to break down their wall

Then you shove them aside~watch their dignity fall

If you really thought through what your actions have done

You’d see that you really just spit at His Son!

I’ve heard all the excuses that are offered by man

In mistakes we do make as in humans we stand

And Jesus forgives us for all that goes wrong

So I ask you-do you see that we are expected to be strong?

My voice has been shut by betrayal from man

I plan to move forward without any plan

Because I can trust that in Jesus’ will I do live

As for you, that’s between you and Him to sieve.
