Some disciplines to grow like Christ alive
as disciplined disciple of himself
right here, right now (in twenty twenty-five
years from the time he tapped all heaven’s wealth
as man upon this Earth, which is God’s own).
I’m not the one to do the choosing here
as independent arbiter [I've shown
propensity to take over, which clear-
ly is against all goodness I know well,
to be the way that’s forward (and that’s fun).
That independence is my cancer cell,
of which, each instance must be quite undone].
So, God I’ve heard your voice that spoke to Pete
on mountain where he shone as heaven’s own.
The story entered me, to give complete-
ly diff’rent way of living. Peter’s shown
it in his life with fear of servant girl’s
attention, and her help from God to own
his Rabi as where his allegiance curls
and centres, as Pete claimed he’d really known
already, as the Father up above
had helped him see, and know within his guts.
And similarly, your truth and your love
have been revealed to me. And that truth cuts
away bravado, so that new young growth
might come where I’m in very special need.
O God you said to Pete (& me), in trōth
of “your highness”, to “Listen up - with speed”.
And so I now must listen, not just spruik.
Please help me to recall what I have heard.
I'll write them in a kind of journal-book
and look at them each day, to do your word.
Thanks to you God, through Julio’s example in various living arrangements, & in our LTG…
