1st Peter 3:16

 

16 But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear.

Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life

you live because you belong to Christ.

 

Conscience

 

Conscience are you really mine or independent to be?

When I say it’s alright ... you just nag and correct me.

If I ignore you I can’t sleep and if I scheme and plot

You bother me all the time ... until I do it not.

 

But when I walk in righteousness and that seems not often.

It is the only time you rest ... and don’t treat like a scoffer

Are you also a tender gift from my Lord and Savior?

A gift when long ignored ... grows hard and stale in flavor?

 

Does the conscience follow suit as the believer grows in Spirit?

As one hungers to be more like Christ The Lord in will and merit.

The Holy Spirit will refrain ... and not take over my conscience.

However He conforms it and touch it through preponderance.
