“A Better Way” (Ps.142:3;1Cor.12:18;Rom.8;Heb.13:8;Ex.20:13; Mt.5:21-25;Is.10:10;Lk.9:25;Jn.8:7) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write – #3-1]
Sun Tsu agreed with what Christ says,
“Do not destroy or kill – it pays
To force the other side to quit
Preserved intact, the whole of it”.Lord, that’s so helpful in my case –
As I look back at hassles faced,
I see more clearly how You act –
Keep opposition folks intact.That’s not our way on earth, of course,
The devil’s API-resource
Is steal, and kill, destroy at will,
’Twas ever thus – ’tis that way still –But overwhelm with loving ways,
Without insisting that it pays
To gain the world at cost of soul –
Your fancy dancing keeps us whole.For mankind’s not the enemy –
With satan’s API, we see
Ourselves engaging in our fights
Capacities which are not right.But when Christ’s API’s engaged
His functionality, so sage,
Is ours as well, for we’re plugged in
To God himself – and thus begins –A process far beyond our scope
And scale – which gives to others hope –
That life as whole is worth the wait –
We need not suffer loser’s fate –For Christ appeared to save the world;
Bring Kingdom-layer above its swirl
As place to stand in perfect peace,
As we mature, from sin released.Thanks Lord for this.
