“Invading Our Space” (Luke 19:5) [Module #269]
Involvement in another’s life and space
Is tricky – it’s not ours – in any case
We need to cautious be, not enter in
To others’ lives, and new life there begin.The pink of dawning light hits clouds on high,
As sun comes up – we see where life now lies –
Life’s fragile, shallow roots give rapid growth,
But we plowed deep so new life won’t be toast.I’m glad we did the slow work for today;
We can relax and let the others play
Out roles they have selected as their way
Of doing life – as we now hear them say –“Who cares about the hindmost – let me see
The ROI I never thought there’d be –
So I am grabbing mine – the center’s “me”
“It’s righteousness or else prosperity” –“You can’t have both”; “With choice I’ll take the cash
Enough’s enough – just do the things you’re asked”;
“I’m into getting mine”; “I want mine first –
Before tsunami’s waves have done their worst”.Well, Lord, I get the picture better now;
And elevation helps – this view allows
Me to go forward now without the drag
Of past, or present, future’s weighty bag –Of sin, or weight of garbage from the past;
We learned a lot; we built all this to last;
When I got here, while working on my own,
I crashed and burned – low resource when alone.But You had told me to “be being filled”;
“Bring extra oil, by which your lamps are filled”;
It’s okay, there is grace, resource, supply,
For projects I assign – for they’re to fly”.Thanks Lord for this.
