Through Fences and Burglar Guards

M-My first church was Methodist
E-Episcopal, by way of African-American experiences,
T-That I may overcome African apartheid, white then black,
H-How far the LORD has brought me, for Jesus' Heart
O-Overflowing with forgiveness, understanding, fearless-favor
D-Day by day, I seek to love Him, not idly but in hour upon hour
I-Interceding for others, saved and unsaved, both other & a brother
S-Selfish as his wife, Sister-in-Love, who stole shamelessly, family dream
T-Today I looked through window bars, at God's green, raining tears

amen Paul; amazing how Jesus can become the most wonderful relationship a human can have. We become more "That which we meditate upon," which is what Saint Paul (!) preached. HAVE THIS MIND THAT WAS IN CHRIST JESUS

Thanks you fine poets and philosophers, for watching me on YOUtube.com: JED PARYERS. Mild exhortation, not fire & brimstone, or making folks feel less than the Creator made them to be. Shine, for HE thinks you are his other Masterpiece. Day6
