THE DIFFERENCE

Are we seeing through our heart?

Or only from our eyes?

Since the difference will determine

If we believe the truth or lies.

Are we obsessed with externals?

Or do we desire deeper things?

Since the difference will determine

Whether unrest or peace this brings.

Are we focused on the here and now?

Or is eternity on our mind?

Since the difference will determine

Whether eternal death or life we find.

Do we take men’s opinion to heart?

Or believe what God has said?

Since the difference will determine

The path in which we’re led.

Do we wear a mask and pretend?

Or are we content in our own skin?

Since the difference will determine

If we’re sincere from within.

Do we walk in our integrity?

Or choose manipulation and lies?

Since the difference will determine

Whether we’re respected or despised.

The difference is in our attitude

As to whether we heal or kill;

With our thoughts, words and actions

And the type of seed we instil.

“Truly these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30
