Focus on Your LifeEphesians 4:17-23 Testify in the Lord, stop being a Gentile, Of the vanity in your mind that will defile; Your understanding darkens as to alienate, You from God with ignorance to eliminate; As your heart becomes blind to the reality, Of lust and the greed defeats your purity; From Jesus Christ you have not learned, And total salvation you have not earned; When still corrupted with a deceitful lust, As spirit not renewed to be the humblest. The Lord is the way, the truth and the life, Empowered every day to rid you of strife; With the grass as greener on the other side, It makes it difficult for the Lord to abide; No one ever said that life would be easy, Although it is tempting to be fat and lazy; Just stay the path the straight and narrow, Remembering with God a better tomorrow; Your job on earth is far from being done, For with God the work has merely begun.
