(A perspective about religion, prompted by previous postings here at DK)

A poem from my best friend, Jim Sharp:

DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS

Jesus challenged us to be as He would,

To do what GOD on earth would do:

Living as Truth in a corrupted world,

Shining a Light through dark and doom.

As we are made in GOD’s own image,

More than merely flesh and blood;

A vessel waiting to receive the message

Of perfect power: GOD is love.

This sacred ground is the world we share,

So we must live as neighbors;

The Lord’s example is to heal and care,

The Holy Spirit guiding our behavior;

The way is simple — follow His example:

When you have the mind of Christ

You see all men through Jesus’ eyes.

Given direction by a heavenly touch,

He humanly put His faith into action;

Living each day to serve the least of us,

Moved to miracles by compassion.

He proved the righteousness of the Word,

Our treasure is His spiritual wealth;

He forgives us as we forgive the world,

Loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Our prayer must always be: “To do GOD’s Will…”

Love one another, and our enemies.

What we sow, we reap: love heals, hate kills.

Blessed are the godly whose path is peace.

With prayer and fasting, love everlasting —

When you have the mind of Christ

You desire mercy more than sacrifice.

Enjoy! And be BLESSED
