“The Better Side Of 'No' ”

A ‘no’ to us is not much fun to hear –
It stops us in our tracks (is role of fear);
But there are aspects of a ‘no’ which can
Enrich our lives and make a better man –

In sales, it means much more than ‘yes’ each day–
It means there’s no more cash for us that way;
If all we get is ‘yes’, we’re losing out –
Perhaps there’s more to have – so look about –

For more than just that method to employ;
A tweak on market-mix (which can annoy)
Can open better ways to move ahead
Than way in present use to which we’re led.

A ‘no’ can save us from some cliff unseen;
Retard a premature advance which seems
From our perspective cat’s meow indeed,
Until we see the better way we need.

A ‘no’ can show the need for Kingdom-layer –
Our need to walk with other Kingdom players;
The need for body-life; to bring folks on
Into their Kingdom-space, where they belong.

For we’re not meant to grovel in the dirt,
Nor leave the others there – but stay alert
To life in all its fullness, options see –
What all can happen when life shifts to ‘we’.

So ‘no’ is on the left end of the dial,
With ‘yes’ on right – quite flexible in style
So ‘love’ can tweak, adjust, to maximize
A resource-flow which wisdom would advise.

Thanks Lord for this.
