The Spirit of Christ sufficed.



Oh God, your spirit's conscientious work,

that simple looking for consistency,

and help to humble self to name the lurk-

king demons in my mindset that still see


the world as though I was the centrepiece, 

the cornerstone, the capstone of it all.

And ask for giveness for what we released

of hell into God's world, however small.


Oh God your spirit's wisdom work to bring

a sound mind to this Earth, as Jesus had.

So that through us, this Earth might dance, & sing

with human words, through humans, to their Dad.


We are the point of meaning for this Earth.

So will we subjugate our own desire,

to hopes and plans of he who gave us birth?

- at core; Will we bow down before the high'r?


The spirit, motivation, modus op-

erandi, as the means, but too the end,

the love that God says never will be stopped,

the only nec-es-sar-y thing, my friend.


The mem-or-y of what's been stored away.

The insight to help see farther because

of what the very cornerstone DID say

when visiting this earth, fulfilling laws!


And reaffirming all the hopes and plans

creative love could come up with itself.

To learn from, and be sitting our exams,

or exercises to build up true wealth*.



*  "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." (Matt. 6:20 NIVUK)  & "In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." (1 Tim. 6:19 NIVUK) & "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is short-sighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:3‭-‬11 NIVUK)
