"Lasting Reform Comes From The Inside" [Module #320] (Matt. 23:23-24)
Whole piles of this have washed away
As I press on from day to day
Upon this “Kingdom-layer” in life,
Above the daily-living strife.In that, indeed, I feel relief;
In that, support beneath my feet;
In that, no barriers exist
To stop; prevent my way; resist.In that, Christ leaves His peace with us;
In that, there lies His Westman bus
(Or not, it does not matter much,
For transportation now’s enough).Significance I’ve learned in ways
I’ve come along these many days –
For time with Shabbat’s welcome peace;
For cash with tithing’s sweet release.The prayer-dynamics surge ahead;
For me seven double-years ’till dead,
Or otherwise quite indisposed,
With how or when just Goodness knows.“At P.O.” cuts the giver crap;
While “Active-willing” body snapped
Into reality at last;
With Babel-barriers now past –For barriers are all dissolved
Up on the acetate – involved
With others’ gifts we are in-deed,
And from the worlds’ sick ways relieved.The mess of life we one-time knew,
Before and after life renewed,
At last has hope of being real,
As life above, below’s revealed.So life is cleaned from inside-out;
But “up above” frees us from pouts
Which came, replaced by joy throughout
New life in Christ on Kingdom route.Lord, thanks for all this life renewed,
Now lived on Kingdom-layer – world viewed
Beneath this piece of acetate –
From evil’s ways you separate –Our lives and us to Kingdom raise;
What sweet relief – we sing Your praise,
And pray with You, “Your Kingdom come –
O Father” – “May we be as one.”Thanks Lord for this.
