Today's poem inspired in part by the messages below,
Esp. this line; nothing is worse than men who think that they see
when they are in reality, blind.
and when, in their delusion they make bold, to act as leaders
and guides for others.
Pictures That Tell a Story (Part 2 of 2) - 08/04/23
We love You, Lord, Because You first loved us, then pray that we
Live to be like vessels out-poured in glad humility
Not wise in our own eyes, with truth, imagination-blurred
But a people that dearly prize the statutes of your Word
Oh, may the love that we confess be more than verbal spew
Convicted by Your holiness to live holy lives too
And as we meditate upon our Saviour we adore
May Want be narrowed down to One/one; to love You more and more
Lest false teachers tease truth with lies that lull heart’s eyes to sleep
Until we do not recognize the wolves among the sheep
Lest deceived, believing we see, are like blind leading blind
Lord, help us seek You earnestly, with heart and soul and mind
Lest love becomes a clanging gong, sanctify, by Thy Word
True love, to enkindle a song of worship, undeterred
A hymn, so very precious, because we are subjects of
The love of He who loves us with an everlasting love

John 17:17
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
