learning to love

Be content to be the blessing you are.
Let yourself long to be like Yeshua.
We're in the process of growing up here
in this old world till new bodies appear.

We've done it before°. He showed that again
a body with more capacity can
grow from what's weaker, because of God's life,
he is our tweaker, and when pain is rife

his love hasn't died (& neither has he),

might be that God’s cried (he’s certainly grieved*).

We either grow up, through our suffering,

as a dog from pup, to finaly see(!),

or else we shrink down to match our small minds,

and be like a clown (persona rewinds)

to live by a script - strait-jacketed still

with wings that are clipped, and that’s not God's will...

° We've had a few different "bodies" along the way so far.  We each started inside our mothers as a single-blind organism. Then before birth we had a whole multicellular body - but it used to get it's nutrition, and oxygen, and eliminate waste from it's blood, all via a tube in it's belly, and its gut and lungs were dormant.

*  The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.6.5-6.NLT
