Honest Expression
Heavenly exuberance of faith’s might
Cheers the heart that testifies truth and right.
Humbling exposure thanking God above
Fills the spirit sharing His joy with love.
Honourable exhortation grips soul
To encourage others as helping goal.
Honest* expression … minus flattery
Reveals character midst sincere story.
Humiliating experience shuts gossip-scouth,
"For a fly does not enter a closed mouth."**
*1Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest… that, … they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
**Romani Proverb
