If We Knew
If we knew of Gods mind
if we knew how far - behind
We are in the Truth
we'd sit up and listen fine
but 'ol habits die hard
when the truth runs Afar
we listen to brooks and rocks
where we've Looked
A new truth shines on down
opening strange clouds
the rain is too Much
And we stay stuck where We are
But there are those That wonder
don't think that they know
all man's systems of Thought
don't hold the same glow
As searching and find, we Will
from and with Mind
Like a ship we'll set sail
new worlds waiting to Shine
And God through the Earth
searches the hearts throughout time
To find those who seek
Him with spirit and Mind
"But grow in grace and knowledge"
onward we go
one step, to two steps, three
and some more
About this poem
on not rejecting arguments made by others, new things and different they bring to the table the humble, able to learn new and better things, - and to begin with - growing with open heart and mind not stuck on a step of knowledge or grace (power of God), but continuing as is natural for a child (of God) to grow for Carm, insp. by Carm .Org Forums and other Christian Forums, and Christians and Christianity.
