Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Five Graceful Marks of a Believer - 1 Peter 3: 8

As believers, it's good to be united
in thoughts having unity of mind
going forward in the one purpose
sharing God's light never be blind

Having a spirit of kind sympathy
showing compassion to those in need
being the one God wants you to be
this is such a privilege planted HIs seed

God has set in believers His own heart
implanted there His own spirit of love
a love looking out for all the Lord's own
for having God's love is always enough

In every believer is a heart bathed in truth
but it needs planted with water every day
the water sprinkled all over in God's word
so showing tenderness of heart to stay

The final requirement is a humble mind
one who is filled with meekness so clear
as well as a mind that's truly humble
to always bless knowing God's ever near

("Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.")

1 Peter 3: 8 (ESV)
