Opposites ...
Galatians 5:17
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;
and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
What fullness is in opposites ... is only completeness there?
Are things rounded out ... when confrontation looms?
Would there be white without black or truth without a lie?
Is that what it takes to identify and so into life be groomed?
Does it take a fallen nature ... to bring the righteous out?
Does it take sins and depravity ... to peek at Holiness?
Is it written in every heart ... what’s right and wrong in life?
Does it take lots of ruckus ... to be known in quietness?
Is that what takes away excuse for man not to do right?
Accountability then is supplied by the designer of it all?
The answer “I did not know” ... is useless at that time.
True to opposites in things ... the bible shows it all.
Jan Wienen
