Casting All 'My' Gods Aside

Casting All 'My' Gods Aside!
Let us cast Gods aside if false praise buys salvation, our actions make Grace less germane (bring us blessing), and pride (I am ‘saved’) means I judge those who aren’t! Let us praise God who judges the righteous, the sinner with Grace, raise “Amen!” when ‘His Truth’ helps the soul’s heart acknowledge God’ IS’ (when man’s dreams all devolve)! * Let us drown man held ‘truth’ if demise lifts the Nation of Life buoyed by fathers’ blood gifts, confessing who stands on strong shoulders won’t share the full brunt! Let’s get honoring God’s not a menu for dinner. It loves what gets served! It’s by faith, we’re ingrained, part of plans for His Kingdom, though God’s ‘dreams’ evolve. (1) ** ** Let us question all ‘truth’ that shows glints of self-serving, and Truth that’s convenient to what the flesh lusts for, not ‘Truth’ that “I AM” (in fact “IS”), died for Love! Let us dwell less on death, though it’s part of the package, death’s vision’s refinement, its lenses add color! Death’s win? Tooth extraction. All done! Life goes on! * Let’s bear witness false pride is the death of deserving, deserving’s a gift, and not earned but a favor! Give praise to God’s hand that put’s on ‘human glove!’ Let us credit the Bridegroom who doesn’t take umbrage that Paul dreams just pride in Christ’s Love means (Paul’s) humbler than those far less blest (as he waves his baton!) (2) Long Tooth April 13th in 2021 Poet’s Notes: (1) Life on earth evolves, is not fixed. Therefore, if God is real, He must evolve as well! QED. What human mind can forbid God from changing? That is vanity most high! (2) A fantastic thing about the Bible to me is that while it’s literal translators fail to embrace that the Bible is not rocket science, but poetry meant more for children, their efforts do not stain the Bible itself. Despite the temptation of priests (and parsons) to elevate Biblical disciples to Sainthood, the Bible itself makes it clear over and over, in so many unique ways, that no human comes close to saving themself by ‘right’ action in God’s eyes (His Justice). Grace was always, and will always be, the only salvation for human souls, I humbly suggest, even before Christ’s birth. All are Saint's in Christ, before and after the flood!
