John Leong Poet Rhyme

Galatians Five A

"long suffering," is one of the fruit
fruit of the Spirit, make no mistake;
it means patience, not just a mood
like a ruler that will never break.

Sometimes we have to exercise patience
when evil abounds aplenty;
if prayers said offers no deliverance
practice patience, it's not unmanly.

Be glad that one of the "fruit" is yours today
though you have to suffer as one doth may;
keep your hopes up that God won't delay
what must you do? just pray and pray.

There is no answer that will solve this matter
all we have is God's own Words;
He may be late, He is the director!
care for us more than He does for birds!

So look to Galatians 5 as your utmost guide
believe me, you'll get the first opportunity;
and when evil's aplenty like bed bug mites
let you soul pour out in prayers thus freely.

Amen!

Galatians 5: 22-23 states:
verse 22: "In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience (long suffering),
kindness, generosity, faithfulness,"
verse 23: "gentleness, self control. Against such
there is no law."

Amen!

Andrea Dietrich August 13, 2017 at 8:10 PM I have such admiration for those with self control who are not quick to anger. Sadly I see too much in the world of the latter . Too bad all people cannot be aware of this kind of teaching brought out by your poem. John Leong August 16, 2017 at 10:58 AM to God's glory we walk the Path! Amen! thanks for your kind words, Andrea; it's nice to have someone read the poems and give me feedback. God bless thee!
