Hypocrisy A Dangerous Snare

As disciples of Christ, we strive each day,
To reflect His teachings in every way.
With hearts full of love and hands that serve,
We show His compassion, His grace preserve.

Before we judge, we look within,
To cleanse our hearts, to shed our sin.
In humility, we find our place,
With self-awareness, we seek His face.

Hypocrisy, a dangerous snare,
Misguides our actions, leads to despair.
But with integrity, our faith we show,
Authentic and true, in Christ we grow.

When correction’s needed, with love we speak,
With understanding hearts, the humble seek.
To help, not harm, with empathy’s touch,
We guide with care, we love so much.

Seek guidance from the wise and true,
Those who reflect Christ in all they do.
With mentors strong, our faith will rise,
In their wisdom, we grow, we become wise.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
