If you want to truly
Awaken to Christ consciousness,
You need to start out by
Behaving in a way that pleases God
Because God cannot be mocked
For what a man sows
That he shall also reap
May it be good or bad?
The one who sows compassion,
kindness, loving, and gentle ways
Will raise awareness of Christ
Because Christ is also compassionate.
Everything he did
Was an act of compassion
Even when what he did
Seemed uncompassionate
He was always protecting people
The weak, the poor, the people
Who could not fend for themselves,
But when you misbehave
And expect to have Christ consciousness,
It’s like sowing seeds of poison,
And expecting to eat bread
That is made well
Make your heart clean and pure.
For Actions come from out of your heart.
Let your heart be filled
With the wheat of salvation and compassion.
Let the pure milk of the word be the gospel.
Transforming your hearts
To help us be ready for good works
And a light to all nations.
Amen.
Glad to have a poetic encouragement to be like Jesus every day. Nice that you gave instructions and examples and quoted Scripture.
ReplyDeleteYou showed Christ consciousness yourself to Ruth Ann Miller. She was feeling discouraged and your poem helped her know how she could help the people around her by being compassionate as Christ was. She said she wished she had known you better.
