3/25 Limerick: Gift Withholding

Standard

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If You are withholding Your gift
Maybe it’s due to our rift
It’s always worthwhile
That we reconcile
To show the world we get Your drift!

Poem: Nailing it!

Standard

When it came to sin
Christ nailed it!
Yet on my own
I failed it!

We’re called to love
Each other
Yet I can’t stand
My brother

We like to say
We’re nice
But pain makes us
Think twice

If you touch on
My trauma
Prepare to feel
The drama

I call my soul
To worship
So He can turn
This warship

Dissolving sin’s
Dividing
Through gracious Re-
Conciling

Let Him rewrite
My story
So all can see
His glory

LifeView: Part-y of God [from iHack]

Standard

Over on my professional blog iHack, I’ve been working through the excellent book Designing Your Life. In addition to articulating a philosophy of work (WorkView), they challenge us to write down a philosophy of life (LifeView).

Since that obviously overlaps with my spiritual journaling here, I decided to repost it.

To move forward Together

We must internalize And reconcile

The excluded pain That enabled us

To become Us By creating Them
