Willingness and sufficiency

Titus 1:15                   New English Translation

15 All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

 

Willingness and sufficiency

 

God does not look at numbers of the sacrifices made

The quantities of sacrifice do not really impress Him

He looks at obedience, willingness, and love to do so

A matter of faithfulness and the hunger to be like Him

 

Regardless how commendable the intentions of our doing

God won’t move on our desires, if the Spirit is neglected

Revelation of the same and not walking in the Spirit

Will find us inattentive to the conscience as directed

 

Allow the Holy Spirit through the conscience to point out

The sins that so easily beset us throughout all the day

Let the conscience probe our lives to show us the condition

And the way God sees and beholds us for we so easily stray

 

Without His conformation can we understand God’s Will?

Just because we are deeply overtaken by the desire to do so on

Is it not in such that sin needs to be treated one by one until?

All inequity is addressed and eliminated before the day is done
