 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove
I appeal unto you,
By the mercies of God;
That you will remain true,
Giving honor and laud.
 
Present your body as,
A living sacrifice;
Acceptable that has,
This place did not entice.
 
Be not conformed to here,
But transform in your mind;
To honor and revere,
With God to be aligned.
 
By testing in His will,
What is good and perfect;
Because He does instill,
When you do not reject.
 
For by the grace given,
I say to everyone;
Blessings flow from Heaven,
Since giving of His Son.
 
Judge with sober verdict,
Through faith in good measure;
Evidence to convict,
Never for your pleasure.
 
One body has members,
Not with the same function;
As each one encumbers,
Duties in conjunction.
 
As one body in Christ,
For one to another;
Some parts are sacrificed,
For sister or brother.
 
Differed gifts of His grace,
For faith in proportion;
Are used that will embrace,
Spiritual emotion.
 
Serving as we are taught,
For the one who exhorts;
Through the zeal that is sought,
That Jesus Christ supports.
