"Invitation To Live" [Module#366] ( )
I read a book by Douglas years ago,
Which resonated deep within my soul –
“An Invitation” he expressed to me,
“To Live” my life as it was meant to be.The hero’s style was much like mine I see;
His mix of gift quite similar to me;
Encouragement with giver flavored in,
Pygmalion is where it all begins.But he points out responsibility,
If we would neighbors call to set them free;
It takes some time for us to each mature,
So stick around, new life must follow cure.I came to see that covers cultures too;
And now this Kingdom-layer is so cool,
For “Hop on up”, is first thing I now say,
“For Kingdom-life strips barriers away”.The Gospels are so rich with benefit
Which Kingdom-life bestows – “They don’t resist
Good thoughts, and deeds, and actions on our part”
Was benefit I saw right at the start.But there are more like Matthew’s Kingdom-page
Of benefits Christ taught back in his age;
So rich our heritage of wisdom here,
In Scripture’s record made for us so clear.Thanks Lord for this new life up on the layer
Of acetate – the view from here is fair;
Please help us as we grow up into you,
Augmenting not detracting from the view.Thanks Lord for this.
