My heart was tender
and felt expansion so wide
Consciousness arrives and
Eyes intake light.

Dream dust wafts away
As I gather waking sense.
I feel the wonder of insight
As remembering love spent.

The sun rose round and cheery,
My smile, an expression joyful
Heart swell to burst for love
Of all who make my heart full.

Romantic love, so endearing.
Family love, a core treasure
But love for all mankind
Will be the true love Jesus measures.

Thank you. I enjoy all the sermons very much. I would ask how though is it possible to be as wise as serpents but harmless as doves without any bit of skepticism or cynicism? Wisdom is knowledge and understanding applied so how is it even possible to be as wise as a serpent but blindly love? I'm struggling with this very issue and having been rescued from a wretched life in which I served sin and myself I'm all to aware of the powers and principalities involved. With that being said I find my angle of approach towards loving my neighbor as myself is much easier when realising they are indeed a victim, knowingly or not, to things obviously in which they do not understand. I would appreciate any feedback that might help me find the flaw in my thinking and interpretation of scripture and help to orient me in the correct manner in which it should be interpreted. Thank you and God bless in Jesus' might name!
