A Measure of Faith

Romans 12:2 & 3

For of this world today be not conformed,
Rather renew your mind to be transformed;
Prove what is good and acceptable to God,
Especially as perfect rather than as flawed;
The will of God is all of these plus more,
Through grace given God opens the door;
That the grace being equal to each other,
Thinking soberly of your sister and brother;
A measure of faith God dealt to every man,
Faith for to be shared throughout the clan.
We have been stuck on this island in space,
That keeps running at such a hectic pace;
No need to adapt in being a temporary stay,
Better think about God and going His way;
Since Heaven is really our permanent home,
Why wander off from God trying to roam?
We need to know what is good and right,
What is actually perfect in God's sight;
If it is good then God gives grace to share,
To spread amongst His people everywhere.
