Great

Job 32:9 

Great men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.

 

Greatness

 

To understand about greatness

you have to know how small you are.

Just to appear larger than someone

may become your greatest snarl.

 

The smaller you are and smaller you grow,

the more your "greatness" will shine.

For in serving the most … it will surely show

that your heart's condition is fine.

 

Greatness it seems … is in adoration of man.

Interwoven by men … who love themselves a lot.

They are often bright and developed in sight,

appearing flawless  signifying their spot.

 

Until you'll find somewhere hiding below

the surface … imperfection surmised.

To undergird the scripture that shows,

that great men are not always wise.

 

So greatness as it stumbles through life

Is more often than not with ignorance innertwined.

So to find solutions to the problems of life

Turn to Jesus, Whose Greatness is humble and "mine".

 

He said : "To be great is to serve"

and "to lay your life for others down".

For "to be great with My Father", helps you deserve

an inheritance in "Greatness"  that’s Mine ".
