Poetry

---

If there is encouragement,
Any comfort from the love;
Through the Spirit not lament,
Because of joy from above.

Having humility in Christ,
Will bring to you empathy;
For what you have been enticed,
Through fondness and sympathy.

Fill your joy of the same mind,
The same love in full accord;
For being humble and kind,
With the mindset of the Lord.

Have no selfish ambition,
For yourself having conceit;
Nor of any obsession,
Causes a lustful deceit.

Look not only to your own,
But interest of others;
Doing what God would condone,
About serving your brothers.

Let this mind be within you,
Which as well in Jesus Christ;
Always keep to His Word true,
Let not yourself be enticed.

Although in the form of God,
He did not count as equal;
But living here was not flawed,
Always peaceful and tranquil.

By taking a servant form,
And born of our likeness;
He went on His daily norm,
Not having obliqueness.

For in the fashion of man,
He was humbled to obey;
To fit with God and His plan,
Through His death He did not stray.

For every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess;
When judgment will show them how,
Their pleasures made them transgress.
