Testimony Gone Off-Track

What He has done for you

Much of that coming through

Saved and settled

And other blessed stuff.

You are His special charge

And He has changed you large

But your thanksgiving

Doesn't uplift enough.

Doesn't pour oil to soothe

Doesn't the shame remove

From the next soul

Bleeding and bawling hard.

He needs to see the Christ

Rescue at any price

Polish the gem

Once mocked and marred.

You a disciple now?

Try to recall just how

They used their words

To lift the Master high.

He was their chief delight

Whether through sun or night

Not their receipts

So neat praised to the sky.

Convicting title! Blessed to have been gifted a Brother like you who will pull me back "on track" when needed, sometimes not so subtle:) But I'm grateful by any means available or necessary!

Hey AG this is a general warning to believers who think that they must always testify "blessed, blessed, blessed". Starts to sound sacharine and sickening, especially to the one whose guts are on the floor. He needs a vision of Jesus not an inventory of successes. Some times I also doubt whether it is honest...Doug
