"Not me", you may be saying.
And you may be right.
But one can think he's obeying
What God expects, and not be.
Inattentiveness to what Jesus
Demanded of those who follow
Can be unbelievably subtle.
Christians there are in name only,
(One hesitates to give them that much)
Who without realizing it
Have moved our dear Master
Off the cover of their life
To the inside pages.
Jesus is not first, as He deserves,
But secondary to so much
Of little or no importance.
You and I then need to stay alert,
And not be robbed of God's unspeakable gift.
If you think the carnal mind
that hates Christ Jesus
and hates those who love Him
want us to have this treasure,
guess again.
