Judging a book by the cover
Trust in a magic pill
That is too small to see it’s contents
That cannot be mistaken as natural
Bias curiosity suppressed
By promise of healing
By trading your money
By trading your time
By trading by way of money
Yet believe in a magical book
Is a leap
Of faith
Jesus was given
A bad reputation
By people that do not even know Him
By people that say they know Him
Yet do not accept Him as a teacher
Accept Him as real
Accept Him as a healer
Accept Him as a savior
Accept Him as humble
Accept Him as God
Accept Him as the sole Judge
Accept Him as a friend
By people that do not accept His heart
Accept His love
Accept His mercy
Accept His grace
Give Jesus one honest try
One college try
And realize He is not to be feared
He never wanted to be
He just wanted a relationship
With you
Trust in the Lord
Final initial thought
Just like you cannot see the drug
Or see it’s immediate effects
You must trust
That it is working
And will not stop working
Until it completes
What it intended
When it entered your body
Do not sit on the couch
And pray for its effects
Only
Pray gratitude
Then live your life
As if it has already come true
Pretend
It is already working
This is the kingdom
Song by Elevation Worship, Pat Barrett Godwinked
Pretend
You are living
In the kingdom
Be joyous
Pretend there is no pain
Pretend humbly supporting
Any body ache
With another body muscle
That does not ache
Pretend you are not tired
Just move at pace
With purpose
Only for the duration
Of the next task
Then you can rest
Sabbath
Final second thought
