Receiving the Lord and Sharing His Word 3

And after all of my trials and lessons, I now know what they need the most, The ability to know our loving Lord, And the loving guidance of the Holy Ghost, For in this they will find themselves free, From the terrible plight of sinful ways, And understand that in not being wrong, They will find that love fills their days, Our faith broken into many different walks, Has many wondering which way to turn, When the answer is just as simple as, Following what you belief and learn, Know that your belief must be followed, For your faith to be confirmed, And that your understanding expanded, Or you will face the fire that burns, While it may seem odd and strange, You must have a heart wide and great, When you consider these things, So you can pass through the narrow gate. For when the Lord said that, All things you bind on earth, He was talking to all of those, Who were to build up his Church. Thus each of the Apostles were ordained, To go out and build up great missions, And given power in this majestic way, To lead their Churches by their decisions, Of course some took issue and broke away, And some were those who passed along the Word, But now with many doctrines and denominations, We now battle over which Christian path is sure, Here is the truth as it was passed to me, If a person truly has faith in the grace, And produces wonderful fruit for all to see, Who are we to judge their Christian ways, For my friend this is a belief system, Where you must follow that which you believe, Yet your professed Christian brothers and sisters, Meet with a Christian Kiss and let them be, For we will all have to answer to our master, And we will all learn that he is one and the same, And on bended knee we will all bow before the Lord, All of us will know our Lord and know his name, But back to the here and now, What words can I share with you, To help you to overcome when life is hard, Except to tell you that you are the fruit,
