Cause and Effect

The Christian life is not robotic
The Kingdom of God is very organic.

It is not "do this and you will get that"
But a Seed of life on His welcome mat.

It's not "do good and you'll get good"
But feeding from Jesus the heavenly food.

It's not "do bad and you'll get bad"
But hearing the warnings from his red flags.

It's not by principles or law based keeping
but letting seed grow, while you are sleeping.

We're not asking God to create the external
For we already have what we need internal.

I's not a structure you build so well
but a tree that grows; cell by cell.

It's not that you know each chapter and verse
But an agreeing heart to His voice you've heard

It's not a formula that you can do
But agreement to the Life inside of you.

The Kingdom of God is not for mechanics
But tillers of soil who love organics.

The Kingdom of God is not cause and effect
But seed and harvest for God's elect.
