Inspiration wanted


2 Timothy 3:16-17

16 Every Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof,

for correction, and for training in righteousness, 

17 that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.

 

Inspiration wanted … who has some for sale?

Is there a place where it’s free and just for the taking?

I have a few pennies … hidden in some space.

How much will it buy ... without that, should I fake it?

 

“Two for one you offer?” Is that a good deal?

Inspiration that is generic and everyone can get it?

I am looking for the unusual ... some with great appeal

You say that is not for sale ... it trades for all I’ve netted?

 

It takes my life to start with ... and my heart and soul?

It needs all that I am ... until I am completely empty?

Then there is a place enough ... to put inspiration as a whole

through the Holy Spirit ... and the free gift redemption.
