Our thought life is imperative
If we’re to produce any type of fruit,
Where love, joy and peace will reign –
With reverence for God’s truth.
God’s word is filled with clarity;
An example of how to be;
Most importantly how not to live
And where Jesus sets us free.
If we think we cannot be deceived
Then pride will have its way,
Because it’s only through humility
That God’s mercy will remain.
If we think we are superior
Much arrogance our soul will wear,
With pretences and all things fake
And no genuine of care.
If we think that we are useless
It’s a lie through and through,
Because we’re created in God’s image
To make a difference that is true.
If we think just like the crowd
Along the broad and wider gate,
There may come a time in life
Where it may just be too late!
Because the heart does become harder
With negativity or hate,
When our old nature is not crucified –
Remaining in that state.
If we believe in evolution
And we strongly think this way,
Then there’s a fearful expectation
When our soul departs one day.
But if our mind and heart is steadfast
On the true and living One,
He is our refuge and strong tower
Where all trials we overcome.
