“Life”

A picture appears in me this morn,
Of body of Christ, no way forlorn;
Dismissing the rancor, churlish way
Now fired in the ashes – potters clay.

Where there is a blockage – other ways;
Where speech is forbidden – freedom says,
“Restrictions – permissions to minister
Withheld are their right – don’t rancor stir.

“But up at the judgment in the end,
Accounting is certain, I’ll not bend –
‘Encouragement did you give, friend Stu,
To all those I brought to engage with you?’

“Remember that story – piano man,
And boy in rotunda – asked, ‘If I can
Play with you as you bang on keys?’
Result was a blessing the boy could be.

“Without all that banging he’d not have played;
Without need created he would have stayed
Alone in the shadows – alert’s the key –
Just like preacher mentioned – first you must see.”

Lord, thanks for the guidance; for this small part;
This place of beginning in You to start;
Let others do aspects which claim the fame –
Encourage, supporting, in Jesus’ name.

“For that’s how the others each learn from you –
They copy (don’t follow), the things you do;
So do it, and let them proceed their way,
Just like EDO – share words I say.”

Okay Lord, thanks also for this.
