Spiritual life
John 6:63
63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
Spiritual life
No spiritual life is set aside
for what is spiritual work.
Spiritual work just expresses
a spiritual life with wings.
God’s purpose of it all
is to fill a temple vessel
as a spiritual reservoir
so all mankind can sing.
A spiritual life flows to others
a never-ending stream.
The spring of its origination
is one that has always been.
A sip from it brings blessings
like love and peace and calm,
when storms of life are raging
an ever healing balm, a dream.
The kingdom of God suffers
at the hands of the believers
who think themselves spiritual
and tend only to own needs.
In their prayer and bible study
and even in their service
all seems done for self
while wishing others God’s speed.
