No Rocket-Scientist Needed ~
It doesn’t take,
a rocket-scientist
it doesn’t take
the sciences.
Faith is just,
an act of trust
it’s believing
God loves us.
It doesn’t take,
a philosopher
it doesn’t take
an astrologer.
Faith is easier,
than you think
for grace is . . .
the saving-link.
It doesn’t take,
an anthropologist
it doesn’t take
a theologist.
Faith is believing,
Jesus died for you
faith is grace . . .
pure and true!

“For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that
not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:”

God’s Immeasurable Love ~
God’s love for me,
is unfathomable . . .
for, His love for me
is immeasurable.
His love rises,
higher than the sky
it goes further than . . .
any space shuttle can fly.
God’s love for me
is unbelievable . . .
for, His love for me
is undeniable.
His love goes deeper,
than the ocean’s floor
it goes further than . . .
any miner can dig for ore.
God’s love for me
is unexplainable . . .
for, His love for me
is unconceivable.
His love is wider,
than the whole universe
it goes further than . . .
any light the stars can disperse.
There’s nothing about me,
that is lovable . . .
yet, God’s love for me
is unstoppable!
~~~~~~~~
“That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is
the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height;

If Our Right Eye Offends ~
If our right eye offends,
then why do we keep looking
if it’s not to desire things of the world
then why are they still so alluring?
If our right eye offends,
then why do we look with the left one
if it’s not to regard the lusts of the world
then why is it not focusing on the Son?
If the right eye offends,
then why do we seek what’s morally wrong
if it’s not to be conformed to the world
then why after it do we still long?
If our right eye offends,
then why do we not look the other way
if it’s not to seek the world’s riches
then why to them do we still sway?
If our right eye offends,
then why does it roam all about
if it sees things so alluring and deceitful . . .
then why don’t we just pluck it out!
~~~~~~~~
“And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things
entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.
“And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that
one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should
be cast into hell.”

Humility ~
If you want humility,
you will need to find
a way to unveil haughtiness
in your heart and mind.
For, when you reveal,
the smugness deep within
humility will start . . .
to trickle right on in.
If you want humility,
you will need to see
just how self-absorbed
you can truly be.
For, when you uncover,
your self-righteousness
humility with expose . . .
God’s righteousness.
If you want humility,
you’ll need to discover
just how arrogant
you can be to others.
For, when you explore,
your self-obsessed feelings
humility will have you . . .
before God kneeling!
~~~~~
“Before destruction the heart
of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility.”
