A Manifesto

...Or being compelled by truth

A manifesto:

To heed the call is no small thing. 

To follow something, Someone, bigger than yourself.

You will grow, 

To match your calling. 

But will you ever match eternity?

I guess that leaves us to only growing.

Which makes this a manifesto of real progress.

So witness and be changed, behold and believe.

Seek truth and find so much more. 

Have your paradigm shifted regularly, and recover.

Never give up, but be weak because it’s not about you.

Be conservative, hold on to truth, and life, and never waver.

But be liberal, share, more than you want.

God grew you, will he also not regrow you again and again?

Find what is right and call it good then share it.

Go tell it on the mountain and the streets,

The high and the low places of the world. But,

Always be content to serve today.

Always have hope and know that it will make you a minority.

Get alone with God, meditate and worship all

The things that He has shared Himself to be.

Live in His presence and die to yourself.

Don’t be afraid to answer the questions when they ask

Of why you are the way you are.

Thank God that you are not who you are, and remember,

That you are not where you want to be.

So be thankful.

Be a light in a world of desperate darkness.

Which makes this a manifesto of light.

Be a mirror and reflect light that comes from inside,

Glorious and admirable in every way,

The light of Christ supreme.

So dont forget it’s not about you.

So love your neighbor, your brother, your wife.

Know and be known.

Call good “good” and call evil “evil”

Buy wisdom and trade it for life abundant.

Serve God and respect the king, in that order.

Love your family and remember that you are a Christian.

Go to church and serve and love. 

Learn all that you can and share it with someone.

Think high thoughts and associate with the lowly.

But always be content to serve today.

Always, always love God. Be passionate,

Be zealous for God. Dare

To change the world, get married

Have children, live, die

Die everyday to yourself, and behold,

And believe that God will make you live more than you ever thought possible.
