What is it that Separates

What is it that separates you from God today?

Sin! 

It lives within and comes forth from all. 

It is the rubbish of life, 

That is knowingly dispensed by word and deed. 

It comes from within or from without, 

To deface, take from, and destroy, 

The environment of all life 

And the character and life of life itself. 

Leave it at the Cross, 

And follow Christ through life. 

Remember, God created all, 

And by His word, He said, “it is good.” 

Give from within by word and deed, 

To take care of, in love, all of God's creation, 

And build and encourage one another to live together in this World, 

As God's Creation in Christ. 

Live life as He planned it to be by following the Lord in word and deed. 

Build within by God's Word of yesterday, 

To be a reflection, from within to without, of Christ today, 

Complete life then in Him, knowing eternity awaits tomorrow's day. 

Lord, guide my way today and teach me by God's word and deed of yesterday,
