“I Had Not Seen” (John 12:20-26)
I had not seen –Jacques’ view sublime,
Had cut me off, I’d crossed the line;
Had taken life on Kingdom-layer
As if I lived on holy air.I’d not, of course, new dying round
Appeared for me – their prayer profound
Not in its application, words,
But by their presence – message heard.“Stu, body-life on Kingdom-layer
Cannot take place when you are there,
Because you think you’re now above
Those gentle folks who showed you love.“It is discrepancy I showed
You in this incident, head bowed –
The reason folks reject your hand –
They can’t embrace, you under-stand.“For walking by, beside, or with,
Takes humbleness –
I do insist that you in Me, is great, indeed,
But you are one with greatest need.”Lord that is not a comfy word –
I pray you help me now it’s heard
To let things go; let them hold sway,
That body-life might start today.Thanks Lord for this.
