In the World, Not Of It

truth

by Susan Irene Fox

When listening to my Fatherโ€™s call

the world attempts to use disguise

to lead me into my downfall

when lies are truth and truth are lies.

The Gospels lift me up to soar,

and daily mind and heart restore.

 

The words of Jesus free my thoughts

and bring me back to Godโ€™s embrace

to focus on the things I ought;

on love, compassion and His grace.

He came not to condemn but save

and all my sins expunged, forgave.

 

Abiding in the Spirit shows

me how to be and how to live.

Christโ€™s light from Living Water flows;

this fact holds no alternative.

The truth from fruitโ€™s essential seeds

is Godโ€™s great source from which He feeds.

 

Because I sustain nourishment

from my Saviorโ€™s bread of life,

His voice of love is sweet assent

which melts and calms the daily strife.

God always is my Number One;

His wisdom never is outdone.

 

So say your truth, but I know His.

I am to open heart and hands,

to welcome all, and more than this;

to care for orphans, widows and

to reconcile the world, employ

Godโ€™s grace and wisdom, love and joy.

 

โ€œI guarantee this truth: every believer has eternal life. I am the bread of life.โ€ (John 6:47-48)

“For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who cares for the truth hears my voice.โ€ Pilate asked him, โ€œWhat is truth?โ€ (John 18:37-38)

And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Having Perused, Let Your Thoughts Show; and in Receiving them, Thank You Ever So!
