These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Show Love. Give Grace.

The humans, that we are, today,
are not the ones we'll be.
Our giftings will not go away,
but we'll from sin be free.

The humans, that we are, we know
are really sadly flawed.
The days spent near the Lord we grow.
The days of Self are odd.

Show love for those, who need our grace.
Just benefit each doubt
for honor will restore your face
when God brings Life about.

Show love for all. Our grace returns
upon our head at last.
The churlish man new hope he learns
as peaceful we stand fast.

Show love. Give grace. Your Father sees
the way you treat each soul.
Your blessing from the least of these,
a crown for Christ, our goal.

The humans, that we are, need love.
The God, He is, provides.
The Grace we show is from Above.
In wings blest souls He hides.

As saved ones we show love in grace,
the Hands of God on Earth,
that lost ones find their lasting place
in Christ through His New Birth.

The Power of God in Grace-filled Love
lives through ones He's redeemed.
With Love and Grace He fills each glove,
committed child, esteemed.
