The Weave of Grace and Conscience #1469

The Weave of Grace and Conscience (Grace and Conscience: The Eternal Weave) In the sanctum of the self, silent threads weave, Fix thyself with care, let no disarray deceive. "You don’t need to fix other things," they say, Echoes of Paul and prophets, guiding the way— 1 Timothy, Hebrews, Corinthians align, Stars in the firmament of the divine. Be a vessel of mercy, a conduit of grace, Like gentle rains on new grass, embrace. Act with kindness, where Matthew and Luke meet, A chorus of compassion, soft and sweet. James joins in, urging souls towards light, Where grace dispels shadows, brightening the night. Beware paths that stray from this radiant course, Pursuits without mercy, a destructive force. Luke, Hebrews, Romans, a cautionary tale, Trust in Jesus, a cornerstone that shall not fail. Embrace the law of grace and mercy, as did He, Jesus, through John's gospel, sets this decree. A golden thread through law, now a soft linen grace, A testament in Romans, love over law takes place. Idols of the heart, more cherished than His will, Matthew, Exodus warn, such idols kill. Corinthians, Hebrews echo, a solemn sound, What's held above divine, falls to the ground. Cultivate the self, where mercy and grace bloom, Align the soul with divine, avoiding doom. From the ephemeral to the eternal, make the trade, In the garden of the self, let His will be obeyed. Written Steven G. Lee (May 23, 2024)
