Starting With Me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That still small voice that brings me peace,

Seems to be hard to find.

Which might be caused in large part by

My own hard heart and mind.

 

I’m not saying I’m over it,

This broken world, as such,

But I am sure leaning that way,

Perhaps a bit too much.  

 

That frustration and discontent

Can lead me give in

To pointing out and condemning

A fellow sinner’s sin.

 

Yet, chastisement from rage, not grace

Is painful to receive,

And isn’t likely to express

The truth that I believe.

 

So, that leads me back to the place

From which I first began.

I need to seek His forgiveness,

Then share it, where I can.  

 

2 Timothy 2:24-25

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth
