You taught us that
You are with us and are true
Because all truth comes from within your heart
So we should change our hearts
to become more honest
and more like the Holy Spirit.
You taught us to
Be a flashlight to the nations.
Guiding them to honest enlightenment for all time
For you are forever the embodiment of true compassion
Because your true compassion came into the world and
This compassion is for all who want to accept it
You taught us that
Unkind words should never be spoken,
Not even while joking.
Be true in all you think, say, and do
Because truth is the way to heaven, and
Jesus is the very embodiment of truth.
You taught us that the way to heaven
For all people, not just the people we agree with,
But also the people we disagree with
Is through Jesus
For the one true God is love and
His love is true for all men
Because he is a true and loving father
Who wants all people
to be honest
in all things.
Amen
I like the repeat of "You taught us" and the actual shape of the words. I like that you give practical things we can do to help ourselves in the Christian life and also things not to do. I like the reassurances of God's love and compassion and the hope of heaven that you write.
