Indifference 3


Revelation 3:15-16 

15 ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot! 

16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth!

 

 Indifference

 

 

Hurting them that love.

Then hope that grace above

forgives my "sinful" ways

 

Make this a way of life.

Torn by constant strife

shielded by thoughts of grace.

 

Excuses all the time.

Making me feel fine

for grace keeps on forgiving.

 

Making life a blast.

Witness left aghast,

what a way of living.

 

Until that day glows

that I reap what I sow.

My strength will break in pieces

 

I should have known

being “full-grown”

that the heart was freezing

 

Why did I live this way

complaining night and day

now what I deserve embraced me

 

Will I learn by what befalls

locked in a selfish hall.

Will Love Divine change me?
