Walking and living

"if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ... if we live by the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit." (Galatians, 5:18, 25 NKJV)

Walking

and living

being

and doing

What we do

What we say

Is that who we are

Our actions

a result of our beliefs

Do our beliefs

always reveal

goodness

and love within

without

Are we always true

Do sometimes

we allow grumpiness

to get in the way

to supercede

better intentions?

Is it sometimes better to

say nothing

Everyone different

None the same

Even within the same body of believers

or smaller family unit

Some alert and cordial

every waking moment

Some not so alert

nor so cordial

Some soak in their surroundings

before pursuing the day

and greater moments

of relating to another.

Should we apologize

for our differences?

Does another frown

on us

because we are different

Not like them

Not like they perceive

we should be.

Is it a sin

because I am not

like you.

Are you the right one

Are you so perfect

that you have no room

for the differences

reflected in another?

Did Jesus forgive you

and judge you so righteous

that you needn't forgive

another?

Did Jesus forgive you

and say,

'go, condemn another'?

Did Jesus say,

'your way is best'?

Who are you?

What did Jesus say?

What does He say

Is He constant

Does He change
