What kind of love God has given, That you should be called His child; A love that flows down from Heaven, His touch so tender and mild. But why would the world never know, That it knows not what He bestows; Enabled with homage to show, Gratitude of the love that flows. Because we are children of God, What we shall be not yet appeared; For we should give honor and laud, To the Father that we have feared. When He appears, we are the same, And we shall be in one accord; As we go out for to proclaim, That Jesus Christ is our Lord. Everyone that has this trust, Are purified as He is pure; A faith that will block any lust, Fulfilling hope that gives a cure. Anyone who practices sin, Also practices lawlessness; For sinning lacks the discipline, And usually have ruthlessness. Whoever practices sinning, And being controlled by Satan; Will never be disciplining, Walks not the path that does straighten. You know He came to remove sins, And within Him there is no sin; Anyone who follows begins, To have spiritual discipline. Let no one ever deceive you, If one practices righteousness; They are living righteous and true, God will speak to their consciousness. Children of God are manifest, Not the children of the devil; The children of God have been blest, All others following evil. Copyright © 2021 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
