SAYING things

Well, must I SAY what I perceive to be

what’s real and true and right about others?

If this is “End of Time”, and all I see

is what is seen by God, and nothing less,

then maybe I must play my role right now.

(So maybe, Mums & Dad's, and teachers too,

of little children, must do that somehow.

But this ain’t “End of Time”! So what to do?

Well, maybe that’s ok, if it is done

with motivations that are God's right now,

so “End of Time” sees a better outcome -

from loving heart, and loyalty of brow.

But not that “righteous anger” of the first

ol’ Son of Adam that walked on the earth’s

good surface, God warned him that sin would burst

in kidnapping, enslaving him and worse.

It’s said if you communicate (as ought)

to others that you’re "with" them in their plight

of broken-ness, and you will give support

and walk with them as they walk in this night, ...

Why then you're living as our leader did
(& not Rome's Leader of power and might,
the Leader of humanity, who fled
at times, and others walked straight into sight).

If things go diff’rent-ly because of love

(commandments 1 & 2 Christ* left with his),

that might be 'coz he has come from above,

with insight into how this world now is!

* I've come to understand the "Christ" as the one identified & named (christened) as not just the High King, the High Prophet, and the High Priest, but the ultimate leader in EVERY WAY, the Leader of humanity ( both senses, all the people's of the world, not just the Jews; and leading us all back into our real humanity)

"… speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. … Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ... Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you".  Ephesians 4:15‭, ‬29‭, ‬31‭-‬32 NIVUK

Txt2me: I think if you can communicate to others that you are "with" them in their brokenness, and gonna walk with them and support them on their journey, not just criticise and then leave them to deal with it all alone.
