What do you get out of this world? & put in?

Don't set your heart's affections on this world,

or let yourself begin to love its things.

Your Father's love is what is really curled

around, and also inside you, it’s wings

protect, and also grow from you - like his.

The love from God, and love from this world are..

well at core they are diff’rently done biz’,

both incompatible with each other.

For God’s love is all spilling bubbling out,

he doesn't need a thing from off his world

(in fact the world is like a water-spout

that’s coming from his mind and heart unfurled)

So, when we pass it on, that’s what we do!

We're like a hose that’s plugged in to the tap,

or else electric cords plugged in a room,

where A.C. Electricity can zap.

But this world’s way is to commodify

to turn it into something that’s from “me”,

by batt'ries it could still electrify,

but all that it can use is it’s D.C.

This world does “luv”. It’s electricity

is like an Angler Fish that gives off light

in order to “help little things.. to see”

or maybe, “.. to be full” - it changed its mind!

So what comes from this world is: its desires,

and they are passing, right along with it!

Who loves to do the will of God who’s higher

shall live forever, and love ev’ry bit!

Don't set your affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of this world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are in compatible. The world only offers things of the flesh and the obsession with status and importance- none of these things are from God.
This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever.
1 John 2: 15-17. (PM Version)
