👍 Let's be vigilant and with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit not buy into the illusion
👍It is easy 2 run here & run there
👍While shrugging off the crosses we wish not to bear
👍Joining this & joining that
👍Thinking that a card carry membership indicates having the formula down pat
👍Stepping up and taking part
👍Being involved in activities, busyness of every sort
👍🏼Looking around, always on the search
👍🏼Hopping from service to service in church after church
👍🏼Folded hands, praying out loud on the knees
👍🏼Whooping and hollering Amens, Calling on the name, oh please!
👍To grab the bull by the horns & change from the inside out
👍Now that is what it's really all about
👍To become in every form and fashion faithful & true
👍🏼That is what we need to be striving hard to do
👍Obedient to the precepts of God & His great commands
👍🏼That should be seen as the highest priority that life demands
👍Carrying crosses, acquiescing, & accepting God's will
👍A goal held wholeheartedly, not just when we are feeling it, but for ever until
👍Spiritually drinking milk & eating cookies
👍Shouldn't we want to move beyond being perpetual rookies?
👍Walking the narrow straight
👍Filled with determination & love, not pessimism, pettiness or hate
👍Of course, not all the time we may be steady on our feet
👍But every single try wins over a failure, it can't be beat
👍For success, on God's Grace that is on what it's most assuredly based
👍A great blessing only the goodness of the Lord allows us to savor & taste
👍In his great mercy, constantly extended ever towards us
👍Those with open hearts, receptive to truth make great strives when filled with filial trust
👍So Let us keep moving and desiring to be the best that we can be
👍This will happen when we really realize the bottom line is Him, & not me, me, me
👍Our life is not our own, we've been bought by so high a price
👍The Lord's Passion was for us the winning role of the dice
👍Time for us all to acknowledge the need to expand our spiritual minds, for they are indeed so, so hallow
👍Jesus is the answer for he or she that exemplifies the spiritual shallow
👍Then no longer looking like a monk but actually living like one
👍His help will have helped us achieve phase one of our spiritual transformation, a deal that is now considered done
