May the honesty that comes from Heaven
Be forever in our hearts and minds.
Let the compassion of Jesus help us
Understand the way of God, our true Father.
The path of Jesus is compassion and honesty,
Holiness and true kindness,
A heart full of mercy mixed with honesty and love,
Forming everlasting compassion.
As Jesus fills our hearts with joy,
May we walk in the way shown by Christ our Savior,
The path true and pure.
First comes honesty, then kindness.
Help us take the path to everlasting life,
Like stones that help us cross a river,
Mixed with light and love in Jesus Christ.
Oh Jesus, help us be strong
In faith, hope, and love.
Make us honest and compassionate at heart.
Oh Jesus, may Your love infuse our hearts,
May Your light infuse our minds.
Oh Jesus, be our joy.
May we express our love for the Father in truth.
May we learn to walk in the path of Jesus.
Amen.
I like the way you use the figures of speech “path” and “river stones” to illustrate your reminder of how to live a life that pleases God. The poem feels joyful and hopeful that we can do that.
