Devote Yourself to the Word

Revelation 2:2-4

I know your works, your toil and patience,
But, you can't bear those in disobedience;
That try calling themselves as Christian,
When they are not and full of deception;
You have patience for Christ's namesake,
You're not weary, but caution on a snake;
Holding against you for loosing my respect,
For your first love is God, you've neglect;
It's a blessing be involved in the church,
Eager people volunteer not having to search;
What a blessing folks hunger for God's Word,
Worry on things to hinder or seem absurd;
Too many times these things will sidetrack,
Then you hear some gossip behind your back;
Before you know it, someone will deceive,
Changing your Godly thoughts you perceive;
Soon enough you are wrapped up and forget,
Then wind up doing something you'll regret;
Always remember to what God has to say,
Disregarding any of the gossip or heresay.
