Two things offend God for sure

When we judge one another

And indulge in self hatred

Who gave us this charge

 ~

The higher love comes

Magnificent promises

For those who listen

~

Getting past yourself

Arising to behold God’s love

He knows your story

Decision each one can make

A painful but joyful choice

 ~

Thinking clearly brings power

It cuts through the distractions

Awakens a whole new world

From the inside out

 ~

Transformation can take place

Energy is ignited

When I decide to give thought

And take the action

 ~

Distractions follow feelings

Feelings are ruled by the mind

Winds of desire can destroy

Or they can give life

 ~

So the big question

Is what do I really want

The answer shapes the vision

Then the questions form

I follow seeking knowledge

Being shaped by the answers

 ~

Respect for myself

And for all those around me

Even enemies

Leads me to reconsider

And think about what matters

 ~

I will decide that

Not a generational

Relational lie

That will revolve around me

But revolves around life
