Missing link


1 Timothy 3:5

 

5 For if a man cannot manage his own household,

how can he take care of God’s church?

 

Holes

 

 

Carpet stretches from wall to wall

 

covering all the space it is given

 

but only there where it is installed,

 

it cannot move ... it’s unforgiving.

 

 

 

People cover space in time.

 

Two in one place is called collision.

 

It is when joined in thought and heart

 

that will cover space in precision?

 

 

 

A church is like that a family of one,

 

if all is right in one Spirit.

 

So if one leaves that common ground

 

will they leave space with no one in it?

 

 

 

And if I leave will there be a hole

 

to be replaced by warmth or cold

 

or by love someone special brings

 

or by one ... who can’t be sold.

 

 

 

I want to leave ... when there is turmoil,

 

in my search  for calm and peace .

 

My Lord asked: is there a difference

 

if it is often on the increase?

 

 

 

I cannot leave where I am not missed.

 

I really need to be a difference.

 

It is really so sad to see

 

if one is not in God's preference.
