Discover God's Reason
When you see God's staff and rod
You may think "punishment" as I used to do -
Think again dear Lisa, sister Sue, brothers Josh and Andrew ...
II
Because I had time in America, escaping from a new South Africa ...
I joined the Church. My Jesus, who chased me down (and head wisdom),
Chased me out of Church, "SILOAM" ... taught me to love Him outside!
III
His "punishments" began to taste sweeter and sweeter perhaps
Because I made room for the Holy Spirit, thanks Katherine Kuhlman,
and pastors Mike and Debbie Dodson, Ray Kingrea,Tree of Life Ministries;
As the best mothering advisor, The Spirit showed me the Father's Way
Where the rod and His Love redirect me from ritual to intercede & pray
IV
Now I read and learn, God will use even our sin for transformation -
Yes, all sin is an affront to the integrity of God, a stain before holiness -
He alone can make all things work together, only by pure prerogative,
as the Calvinists might say. Denominations aside, no Spirit = no LIFE!
We must fathom the Father's Love, who became Jesus upon a Cross.
