Divisions kept the sides apart.
Where is the unifying heart?
How can the mending ever start?
It did. His will is done.

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV – 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The sun is setting westward deep
and Venus shining soon will sleep.
My trust’s in Him and He will keep
my heart in perfect peace.

Isaiah 26:3 KJV – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Don’t hesitate to do what you
have heard that you’re supposed to do.
Get all that done. The sky’s still blue
and you’re still in His rest.

Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV – 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
So, if you let the devil run
your mouth and think you’ve won,
with fleeting words you’ve not begun
to walk the narrow way.

James 1:26 KJV –If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Occasionally I post nonsense verse as comments on blogs such as on Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With A Limerick or Chel Owen’s Terrible Poetry contests.
One day I might repost some of those limericks. Today I’m reposting what I submitted to Chel’s Terrible Poetry Contest: Valentine’s 2025.

A sonnet is too long for me to write.
Besides I can’t remember how one goes.
Though rhythm, rhyme and such might bring delight
I cannot write another one of those.
Be happy, for a change, is all I ask.
Is it too much for smiles to bless your face?
A frown is such an ugly sort of mask,
so smile a teensy bit and show some grace.
We’ll soon be dead and then some say we’re gone,
but others say we’ll have to face a hell.
If heaven’s not the road we’re fighting on
we probably should repent of that as well.
In hell we might be roommates, don’t forget.
So smile, my dear, we haven’t got there yet.

Beware the words that devils say.
Their whispers haunt the soul by day
with wondrous news put on display –
just tell that darkness, “Leave!“
