be-love-ed ..

But you, my fam'ly now, upon this Earth,
don't be like those who wander off the track,
who blind or deaf ignore their higher "birth"/
inheritance, for they have turned their back

on holy truths. They've stopped responding to
the love and truth of God themselves, and slumped
(a very dang'rous thing for all those who
are living here, where we have all been "jumped"

by Papa's en-em-y somehow, so now,
our fam'ly has been hard at work behind
the scenes, in taking back his kids, but wow
we have to be awake to it, to find

how we can work along with what’s been done
by God, and older children of his too,
in order to join his advent’rous fun,
not made-up work, real ser-ious stuff to do)!

He said he’d build his own ekklesia,
that’s “called out” ones, who live against the flow,
who trust their father, not just easier
appearing options, they will take the blow,

and "bear the beams of love"* in darkest place,
& work with him on what he’s working for,
by listening & responding with that grace
from his own spirit’s attitude and more,

to keep themselves within the love of God,
just like a plant whose roots seek out good soil,
we’ll wait upon his mercy - till we’ve trod
out of this womb-world - we will not recoil!

ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀγαπητοί, ⸂ἐποικοδομοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς τῇ ἁγιωτάτῃ ὑμῶν πίστει⸃, ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ προσευχόμενοι, ἑαυτοὺς ἐν ἀγάπῃ θεοῦ τηρήσατε προσδεχόμενοι τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.   ΙΟΥΔΑ 1:20‭-‬21 SBLG

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1:20‭-‬21 NIVUK

But you, my friends, keep on building yourselves up on your most sacred faith. Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.  Jude 1:20‭-‬21 GNTD

But you, dear friends of mine, build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith and by praying through the Holy Spirit keep yourselves within the love of God. Wait patiently for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will bring you to the life eternal. Jude 1:20-21 J B Phillips, (+ Greek, Good News, New Revised Version),

* A beautiful phrase for one of the purposes of humanity,  in one of William Blake's poems focusing on overcoming inter-racial conflict under God: 

    "And we are put on earth a little space,

     That  we may learn to bear the beams of love, ..."  

"the beams"... of the light of love, have a beautiful, horrific, deathly edge to them in the light of the crucifiction of God's Christ.
