Heart Issue
The opposite of Love is Self,
Always seeks to be enthroned
Exalted high above life's shelf-
Self sees all things as "owned".
Expecting each entitlement
As its due just for the taking,
Self can't give encouragement
No Spirit there goes flowing.
What Christ had said to all
Who will follow in His way,
Self must die and heed the call
Crucified, buried TODAY!
Self must step down and bow
Relinquish all of heart in Truth
Keep His Word inside to grow
So it will bear HIS fruit.
