All Who Are Able
As then
they were numbered
as all who could go
to war
we still have
spiritual battles
to be counted on
for.

according to God’s will
commit our souls
to Him
in doing good
as to a faithful Creator
who suffered
for our sin.

Let us be of one mind
having compassion
loving as brothers
tender and courteous
not returning
evil for evil
but blessing knowing
we were called to this.

Precious In His Sight
Let the hidden person
of the heart
just keep
shining through
His gentle
quiet Spirit
seen in
all you do.
**********
“Do not let your adornment be merely outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel – “
“rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”
1 Peter 3:3,4 NKJV

Christ Also Suffered
When we do good
yet suffer
and take it
patiently
we honor Him
who always judges
His children
righteously.
**********
“But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.”
“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
“Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
“who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously . . .”
1 Peter 2:20,21,22,23. NKJV
