Poem About the Spirit

So often we box in the Spirit and tell others they can't be used

But doesn't that box the spirit in to prevent our fears from coming true?

That the person who is imperfect in our eyes

Can't be used by God because their faith is their disguise

Both the person who refuses to believe and the one who is wrong can't be used

That is our fears bursting through

I once heard perfect love casted out all fear

But you can tell that perfect love is nowhere near

We take those we don't like to see in our lives

Then we wall them in and keep them locked up inside

The world was created by a living God whose image we were created in

I know why we box them out and its cuz our sin

Pride

God uses the broken and rarely the secure

Jealousy

God always gives those who give, more

Fear

God uses what we don't understand to show us the way

Foolishness

God always gives those who talk the least the most to say

I guess its a realization that those who have it altogether really don't

And that those who don't have it, are altogether

Its a step away from being complete which is a hard process

But then again nothing in life is easy.

It is something that just came to my mind and I shared it through this blog about how we treat the mentally handicapped when it comes to the Holy Spirit. I felt that essay by Steven M. Fetke "The Spirit of God Hovered."
