Oh that we could bring a smile

Oh, God that we could give thee a smile.
To see Unity in all tribes and nations.
To cast out the impure spirits as the Stony piles,
Building in Jesus the cornerstone of the foundation.
A new creation reborn of the Promised Spirit,
That,we might be purified into the likeness of Christ
Growing,above and fleeing the thorns and thickets.
Leaving the old ways by the Spirit which sliced,
The Stony heart that Jesus could shine in the light,
Into, a soul that was blinded by worldly wisdom.
That, one might receive the adoption of birthright,
Into, the Children of the Living God kingdom.

Lovely written Dear Stephen. From the womb we are known. Being reborn is God's new grand plan for us to achieve every good thing he has promised.

We are heir to God's Kingdom if we are born as new creation and are able too see God as the corner stone of life's foundation. When the Spirit slices our stony hearts, we will be able to see all men and tribes as one- the children of God. Beautiful poem, dear Stephan. Sending you love and peace.
