Notes About The Poem

Love Your Neighbor

Love Your Neighbor
As you love yourself
Wait a minute I 
Am almost gone
 to the wilderness
Don't bring that hate,
Envy, rage, foolishness
Drunkenness, Adulterous
Taking all my sugar and bread with
Lusting after own eyes 
And mind over this way
Telling me to be my own shrine
We don't need God 
We can make it own our own
I can't even take this next breath
Without God allowing it
He has ability to snatch it out
At anytime ,thankfully
He is patient with us
This is for fun my friends
But hope to get a point across
We can not even know love
Until the spirit of God
Dwells within to create
a new mind and heart
Then the love within 
Flows out into all ,
Love all of you 
If you like it are not
We all still have hope 
If we are breathing

This poem written to show difference in fruit from this world tree
Vs fruit that grows within spirit tree

"Then the love within Flows out into all" , When the spirit of Jesus comes to bide in us, our hearts will overflow with love and we will be able to channelize our love to everyone- our friends, neighbors and even our enemies. Then we will have no difficulty in loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. Beautiful thoughts Stephan!

Amen, valsa, we have to love what we know all can become, with a call out to God to put the old self in the grave and raise up within new life . Trade in worldly life for God.... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22 NIV
