One to be


Proverbs 4:18

New English Translation

18 But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light,

growing brighter and brighter until full day.

 

To be one with you I need to be outside myself

How can I give myself if I deeply stay within?

I really don’t mind to step far away from self

But is this worth it dear folks, unless I divide in being?

 

If I stay in I know I am far beside myself

If I don’t share myself there is nothing but emptiness

To be full appears from outside the one shared with

And that will fill the “all in me” to grow in fruitfulness
