Activamente Dispuesto” (actively willing – disposed to action) [Spanish series]

Ac-tiv-a-men-te Dis-pu-es-to
Checks our desire, the cost if we go
Along with healing sight this morning
Like Bartimaeus – heed the warning.

For healing costs one’s “Victim” status
Are you involved? So angry at us
That you’ll refuse the touch from Spirit?
Dependent now, so won’t come near it?

Or maybe leave it all to Jesus
And thus refuse the gift that frees us;
Or unaware of your involvement
“Disposed to act” is His requirement.

Perhaps it means long years of study;
Or hooking up again with hubby;
A dip in dirty Jordan’s waters;
Involvement now in role of “Giver”.

Perhaps a loss of friend and family;
An open hearth that’s far from timely;
To walk away with laugh at plenty;
Or soldier’s death at one-and-twenty.

God is not phantom magic fairy,
Or distant being, old and hairy;
He’s not the problem – it’s your thinking
Which addicts oft-times view stinking.

So knock it off and join the chorus,
In praising God who’s working for us;
Take up the cost and challenge present;
Accept with grace His gift most pleasant.

Thanks Lord for this.
