No guile

Psalm 32:2 

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

 

No guile

 

“No guile” does not mean love

Love undergirds all good trades

Gifts of the Spirit are founded on it

As the flesh needs to cooperate

 

“No guile” an ingredient

For the Gospel to be proclaimed

The most solid foundation

For truth to be reality’s slate

 

“No guile” a gift from above

Not a call and not a trade

Character is based on it

So reality won't interfere

 

And so through all meaning

As before ordained

Without much contemplation makes

the possessor is sporadic here
