Romans 6:4    New English Translation

4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.

 

The only Way out … let Him live His life through me …

 

Who is inclined to live God’s Will perfectly?

Who will not initiate anything in himself?

Who dares to attack powers of darkness incessantly?

Who gives self constantly without hesitation to God?

 

Who follows God in every step he takes?

Who never wanders off alone to escape reality?

Who does not glare at times to all that’s manmade?

Who does not desire a fair share of the entire lot?

 

“Why do the wicked prosper, why do we even notice?

Is it not a fact that my desires feel I deserve a part of it?

Why do we compare ourselves with others around us?

In everything, we reason our eyes seem always on them?

 

Is it not about loving our neighbors more than self?

Is it not for the love of God that we lay our hearts on the altar?

Is it not then we discover that our “love” for self is slyly ruling?

And the unconditional true love of God in us appears to pro tem?
