WHAT LIES WITHIN US
What lies within us
Is who we are
What lies within us
Is the essence
Of our soul
What lies within us
Is what we show the world
What lies within you
Is it love
Is it hatred
Is it kindness
Is it crudeness and rudeness
What are you
Showing the world
What lies within us
Should be love
What lies within us
Should be forgiveness
What lies within us
Should be kindness
What are you
Showing the world
What are you
Showing the world

Ps “What good will it be for a man
If he gains the whole WORLD-yet forfeits his soul
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul” Matthew 16:26
“If you belonged to the WORLD
It would love you as its own
As it is-you do not belong to the WORLD
But I have chosen you out of the WORLD
That is why the WORLD hates you” John 15:19
Today is the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours.
He was a monk, a bishop, and turned out to be
One of the most popular Saints of the middle ages.
Legend has it that he once kissed a beggar-and that evening
Christ appeared to him wearing the same cloak that Martin
Had given the beggar.
“What you do to the least of my brothers……..
That you do unto me”
