“Though I Like Blue” [A-T series, #7]

Though I like “blue”, I’m really “red”,
As seen in picture of my head –
My slanty eyes (quite sinister)
Convey my “flaw” as minister –

At least from point of view below
The Kingdom-layer – now I know
Though TCK is point of fact
From Kingdom-come is how I act.

Not “perfectly”, of course, that’s heaven;
Just “Trying hard” – salt, light, and leaven,
Meant for the larger culture here
Of Giver-types – that much is clear.

So when they see me from both sides
They see it’s elsewhere I reside,
But don’t look “up” to Kingdom-layer
To see their hope, and answered prayer.

So underneath, “red” through and through,
While surface has veneer of blue;
“Red, white, and blue, indeed my friend –
Take closer look, then close attend.

Thanks Lord for this.
