FAITH WITHOUT WORK
 
Things will fit better 
if you first bother 
to measure.
Follow through
on what you ask
God to do.
I do not blame 
God who has
blessed you with 
a brain, insight, and a will
to make it plain.
Progress 
Requires care
A little footwork.
A little "Elbow Grease". 
Should always
accompany 
your prayers.
If your creator 
seems distant 
he is waiting 
for you to put 
some "motion"
behind your 
E-motions..
Go and become 
a steward 
of your own 
blessings.
What you ask 
God to put 
into motion,
"claim"
You know, all that 
"faith “and no work....
and you…
Not budging,
while waiting on 
"change".!
Well: let that be the reason
For things staying the same.!
