Live in Harmony?
Inspired by the sermon of the above title.
Romans 15:1-7

innocuous?
fence-walking?
boat-steadying?
is that what harmony is?

“Live in harmony,
we who are strong;
put up with the weak.”

Strong,
accountable to God;
never a stumbling block,
never a hindrance.

What then?
Do we not hope to live
as God’s guidance shows?

Are we not to act
in a way in keeping
and promoting God’s way?
Causing our own Christian growth
and an increasing of His body
here, on Earth?

“Build relationships,
then make a way
toward obedience
to God’s Word.”

“Be ye fishers of men;”
we catch ‘em, He cleans ‘em.

Yet, if we are asked,
“Should this be?”

Should we not speak
His truth? That which is
in line with His Word?
---If we are asked?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Insightful and thought provoking. .... I always say that I want to live in harmony with heavenly laws. At least try, always.
And sometimes it may be tough ... we have been given the choice ... the choice to love.

Thank you!

Love, Margherita
