‘Mending the Spirit’

…Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. ….’—John 1:1-18

Mending the Spirit

you received a whole Spirit
return a whole Spirit

this is the call of the Lord†

the garment in which you are wrapped
many are torn and broken

the Lord† has pleaded

repair what you broke
repair what others broke

you received a sound Spirit
return a sound Spirit

each has a piece of His† Spirit
return your piece intact
back to the one who gave

do not horde trespasses
for the Father† does not horde trespasses
if you seek His† forgiveness

He's† in you
the Son† is in you
but they are not as you are

willingly, you must choose
to be in them
forgiving and forgetting

accept your refinement
for your stone
is being made pure
so your Spirit can live
in the light

let the refinement happen
release all that you put
on your body
‒forgive the Lord†
then forgive yourself

so that your refinement
purifies
what's been torn

so that you many return
what was freely given
without blemish
