Conformity


Matthew 5:36 New English Translation (NET Bible)

36 Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

 

Conformity to circumstances ... is blackness than a choice?

Contentment travels hand in hand with satisfaction in its voice

 

Landscapes drawn in a heart ... add colors with one stroke.

Here a mountain there a valley ... or a seascape in its role

 

A storm is raging in a peaceful setting ... sailboats gliding on the calm

Trees are growing by the streams that flow from mountains as a balm

 

Rushing wind through the treetops ... are bringing chills here up high

The serene could be perfect ... if the wind would lie down for a while

 

Lovely light brings exposure on all that’s good and all that’s bad

To the light there is no difference if inside motives embrace the sad
