The sonnet, titled “A Meditation on Luke 6:33, Wherein Christ Questions the Merit of Doing Good Solely to Those Who Return Kindness, Urging a Higher Love,” reflects on Luke 6:33 (KJV), which challenges the value of doing good only to those who reciprocate, as even sinners do this. It critiques the ease of transactional kindness, noting that such acts lack true merit since they are common and self-serving. The poem contrasts this with Christ’s call to a higher, selfless love—exemplified by blessing enemies and giving without expecting reward. It concludes by urging readers to transcend selfish deeds and embrace a purer love that aligns with divine virtue, promising spiritual fulfillment.

What merit lies in kindness to the kind,
When sinners mirror such with equal ease?
To love but those who love, the heart is blind,
For selfish deeds like these can never please.
To lend with hope of gain, what thanks are due?
The worldly barter thus, expecting pay.
But Christ commands a love both pure and true:
To bless the foe, to give, yet seek no gain.
No recompense on earth need we pursue,
For heaven’s prize awaits the merciful soul.
Like God, who loves the wicked and unjust,
We show His grace, and thus our hearts make whole.
So let us love as He, with mercy free,
And children of the Highest we shall be.

In mirrored halls, we chase a fragile gleam,
A shadowed self, esteem we build with care,
Yet sands of pride dissolve beneath the stream,
A mirage born of dust, a hollow stare.
The world exalts the ego’s brittle throne,
A crown of glass, by fleeting praise adorned,
But winds of doubt soon shatter what’s our own,
And leave the soul in silence, lost, forlorn.

Yet Christ extends a gaze that never fades,
A worth unearned, by grace divinely sown,
No shifting tides, no crumbling masquerades,
His love alone can call the heart His own.
Through Him, we stand, no need to prove or strive,
In boundless esteem, we’re fully made alive.

In Acts, the faithful shared with open hands,
A church alive with love, no soul in need,
Their hearts unbound by selfish, earthly bands,
They sowed in grace, a pure and holy seed.

Oh, for a flock where burdens all are borne,
Where widows weep not, nor the hungry pine,
A brotherhood from dusk until the morn,
Each life entwined, like branches on the vine.

No gold they hoarded, none stood lone, apart,
Their table spread for stranger and for kin,
With fervent prayer and undivided heart,
They built a home where mercy dwelt within.

Restore us, Lord, to care as once they did,
A church renewed, where love is never hid.

—


A heart attuned, by Christ’s own hand made soft,
A gift divine, to feel where shadows fall,
He tunes the soul to hear the whispers oft,
The sighs of earth, the Spirit’s gentle call.
Through tears and joy, the process carves its way,
Each wound a quill, each grace a line to sing,
A tender heart learns mercy day by day,
And crafts its verse to glorify the King.
Where others pass, unmoved by silent cries,
This poet sees, with eyes by Jesus lent,
The beauty veiled, the pain that underlies,
And weaves it all to hymns of sweet assent.
So from His touch, a fragile strength is born,
A voice to reign in triumph evermore.

Oh Precious Father, Son, and

Holy Spirit, there is heinous, demonic

wicked, and putrid sins in nations, lands,

and in individuals who are dwelling rebelliously

in sin. For so many, many, many nations, people,

churches, organizations, and individuals have

committed heinous and blasphemous

sins. Oh, when children are sacrificed

for their blood, when when the sinister

sin of human trafficking is prevalent,

when elections are stolen, when the

occult and satanism is on the rise,

when false teachers and Shepherds

masquerade as something they are not,

when evil is called good and good is

called evil, when nations, people churches,

organizations and individuals do not obey

or believe the flawless, inerrant, blessed,

precious Holy Scriptures, when the love

of many grow cold and withered because of

their misplaced love of money, greed, fame,

and power, this must cause our Triune God

to weep as He separates the sheep from the goats!

For the lust of eyes, the pride of life, and the love of

pleasure is more important to the world and to the church

than passionately following and obeying Biblical Christian

faith and Holy truth! Precious Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

our hearts cry out to thee to make us bold like lions!

Oh Lord all we can say is have mercy on your remnant

who love you with all our hearts, souls, and minds. Rise up

our Warrior, Savior, Lion of Judah, devastate, obliterate

the wickedness running rampant throughout the earth

through your mighty, omnipotent, majestic power.

Rise up and conquer all the enemies of Jesus Christ,

our Messiah, our Lord, our all in all, our Savior, and King

as we joyfully say, Here am I, send me. Here are we, send us!

Rise up and bring revival to this sin-filled earth! Rise

up and fill us with your mighty Holy Spirit like never before.

Anoint us as your loving warriors for the battle is now on the earth.

Rise up within us for we know that you alone are mighty, powerful,

and are the one and only incomparable King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Rise up within us for we are your warriors and the truth within the Holy

Bible is Salvation’s only way and the only divine truth. Rise up within us and

anoint your redeemed with your ceaseless Holy love, grace, and truth. Rise up within us

and let us never, ever forget that in the end Jesus Christ wins! Rise up within us!
