INtimate relationships intiMATE relationships!

God is so amaze-mazing,

he keeps the rule that when

two on earth join intimate

-ly a symbol of even

deeper joining has happened.

He sees things on Earth I doubt;

says I’m one spirit with Him!

Take that in, & live that out:

other sins might not ruin

all your 'lationships about,

but acting out very in-

-timately with one you’re not ..

..not quite set on learning to

r‘spect or love as God loves you,

just for what you can get out

of this inter.. course or bout,

is very likely to poise-

-on the brink (for girls & boys)

of your brand spanking new world

y o u’r’ building, and flag’s unfurled,

with each choice you’r’ making with

respect to relationships.

Don’t you know if you’re joined to..

Christ, if you’re in his body

and he’s in your body; you

are like a lover, or small child

still unborn, but still or wild

the body of people you

know or have relations with

builds a mystical world-view,

meant to gather up, to sieve,

make a band of singers too.

You-all-together make up

actually a temple - true,

hold God’s greatest deposit,

his seed planted in the group.

The essence of the Holy

Spirit of God comes to live

in this body, though lowly.

What more could you ask God give?

You, "my"Self, aren’t just your own,

to’ve just done all your “likes”,

to grow what you’d like to ‘ve grown,

you’re God’s garden of delights,

entrusted by your land-lord,

he lets you sow a crop in

“your place”; so then sow, care for,

reap what honours his giving.

(after 1 Cor 6:17-20)
