In the World and Not of It
Jesus is right: Life entails a balancing act
(He is never wrong, by the way) : -
"Be in this world, but NOT of it. Don't react."
(How? you ask. Impossible even for you!)
O just wait, when life leaves you askew.
And it happened to not a few
Saint Paul gave up his education, pedigree
Where he had fought Christians tooth and claw
("God is One. Without you! And no trinity!")
Listen en route to Damascus. Light. No more Pharisee.
Some have no way to Light but through law and rules
(Commandments, Constitutions, but ah! We make Exceptions)
The LAW is a mirror to human hearts: rebellious on roads
At the House, at school, at office. Shirkers, too. But Grace isn't earned
Agape and Dunamis. So I won't judge, share my bread, yearn for shalom
