Perimeter
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Perimeter
To give a simple compliment ... breaks a smile in Glory
But to criticize a little ... shows deepening flaws indeed
Foundations of true feelings ... are then brought to the surface
And character trades once hidden ... appear with lightning speed
Why do we change the baseline ... of our “self-chosen” emotions?
Why do we enjoy sunshine ... and then let it on others rain?
Why do we give that power ... to another for the taking?
Why give up control ... for someone else’s gain?
Can we control the baseline and the height of our emotions?
Is it in our hands to choose ... and select our trades?
Or is it our “humanity” ... that Satan is used to playing
like an instrument out of sync ... to muddy up our slate?
Jan Wienen
