ARE WE CRAZY FOR LOVING GOD?

 

ARE WE CRAZY FOR LOVING GOD?

Has anyone ever THOUGHT

Your LOVE for God

Was over the top?

Or that your love

FOR GOD was a 

Little bit too much?

NO ONE has ever told

Me that=but I suspect

That some people have 

Thought it

I have had my poems RIPPED

UP=in my face=and I

Have been told by people

NOT to send them my poems 

Any longer

IT IS OK=I LOVE GOD

And I love to SERVE God

And others

And I am in

GOOD COMPANY

“He is OUT of his MIND”                                                                                    Mark 3:21

MANY people including

Some of Jesus' own FAMILY

Thought he

Was out of his mind

The above quote=as INTERPRETED=means

“He is beside himself”

I am PROUD to serve God

I am proud to SERVE Jesus

And I am proud to SPREAD

The good news of the LORD

I think we are ALL a

LITTLE BIT crazy over something

In this world=

And I don't mind being

THOUGHT of as a little bit crazy

OVER THE LORD

I am going to KEEP my mind

On loving God

My mind

ON LOVING OTHERS

And my mind on the

GOOD NEWS of Jesus

“TEST me Lord

And try me

Examine my heart

And my MIND”                                                                                            Psalm 26:2

“Do not conform

To the pattern

Of this world

But be transformed

To the renewing

OF YOUR MIND”                                                                                            Romans 12:2

“The end of all things

Is near

Therefore be alert=

And of sober MIND”                                                                                                 1 Peter 4:7

I don't mind as being

THOUGHT OF as a little

Bit crazy for God

A little bit crazy

For Jesus

I am crazy for LOVE

In this world=I am crazy

For PEACE and for the

UNIFICATION of all people

Under one God

Years later=Saint Paul

Would write

“IF we are out

Of our MINDS

It is for God”                                                                                               2 Corinthians 5:13

Jesus had a SINGLE-minded

Devotion=for God his FATHER

And he had-

An uncompromising COMMITMENT

To the will

Of his Father

I don't mind

BEING lumped in

With Jesus=I DON'T MIND

As being thought of as a

LITTLE BIT crazy for God

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Dear Lord=HELP ME to follow you

EVEN when the world

Does not understand

“Finally brothers and sisters

STRIVE for full restoration=

ENCOURAGE one another=

Be of ONE MIND-

Live in PEACE”                                                                                              2 Corinthians 13:11

In Jesus' name and in the NAME

Of our all LOVING=COMPLETELY SANE FATHER
