Training our Appraisals

With eternity in our hearts,

Do we say we haven't the time
For the one thing necessary?

With all tomorrows predestined,
Do we inhabit them prematurely
Where God has already worked?

With Wisdom's Spirit within,
Do we say we can't commence

Until our mind's wanderings are complete?

With a peace that surpasses,
Do we say we can't remain
In turmoil beyond understanding?

With a delightful inheritance,
Do we say we can't release
Our funds from pleasant boundaries?

With the Maker's life in us,
Do we say we haven't the bread
To offer for multiplication?

With paralyses healed,

Do we shrink from the sick

Cured only by his words?

With "This is my son" said,

Do we strive to add to it

Thinking pleasing our burden?

With the cattle on a thousand hills,

Do we say we haven't enough

In our barns built aplenty?

With eyes upon our limits

We say rightly.

Therefore, let us train 

Our measuring appraisals

To gaze on his abundant riches.

Then we might 

Sincerely say

I have enough, 

I am enough, 

My freedom is his.
