 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove
Such ministering to the saints,
It is superfluous for me;
Seeming to be free of restraints,
Making you be able to see.
 
Because I know your readiness,
Of which I do boast about you;
Since your faith has a steadiness,
For you know what I say is true.
 
Most of you have stirred up your zeal,
While others have been provoked;
Showing truly of how you feel,
Having your heart and mind be evoked.
 
I send you that our boasting,
Not prove empty in this matter;
For reaching out with my posting,
In social media chatter.
 
So that you may become ready,
As I said you should always be;
That your faith will remain steady,
Adhere to what God does decree.
 
If some of you who follow me,
And finding you are not prepared;
You are able in breaking free,
Never forget what I have shared.
 
Be humbled as you be ashamed,
As you are feeling confidence;
Because of what I have proclaimed,
While seeing the evidence.
 
I thought that you should go ahead,
Arrange in advance for the gift;
Rather than expecting instead,
Of what you are able to shift.
 
It is a matter of reward,
Rather than as of covetousness;
When you have given to the Lord,
And God will give His blessedness.
 
For whoever sows sparingly,
Will also be reaping the same;
Whoever sows abundantly,
A bountiful harvest to claim.
 
Each one must give as decided,
What the heart and mind delivers;
Think about what He provided,
For the Lord loves cheerful givers.
