What ever shall I say here? |
|
To the best of my ability the following poem sets out my hope |
|
for how we interact in this forum and, and to me this opening |
|
board seems the place to post it so that newcomers can know what |
|
to expect of my leadership. |
|
[center]Christ is a diamond that's perfectly cut with multiple |
|
facets so bright |
|
Around Him stands all manner of men, each seeing some aspect of |
|
light. |
|
Christ turns but a fraction ....the sparkling lights change, |
|
New wonders the viewers perceive |
|
Each somewhat diff'rent ... specific'ly meant for those who the |
|
Spirit receive |
|
None have the right to say to another, 'The light that you see |
|
isn't true' |
|
The facet he sees was cut for his purpose ....yours was cut |
|
spec'ly for you. |
|
But all viewers jointly; their own lights held firm, |
|
form a composite brilliant reflection. |
|
It's the 'Body of Christ' ... the Diamond's intent |
|
To mirror its wondrous Perfection.[/center] |

I hope nobody fears that I might be polishing up the site for a |
|
promotional push to bring in new members. |
|
It's only me filling up my time in anticipation that there might |
|
just be the occasional person who happens to stumble upon us |
|
If a new member turns up as a result of an existing member |
|
mentioning us to a relative or acquaintance then that will be |
|
more than I could wish. |

Hi Mike, I like your poem. It reminded me of something God |
|
showed me a few years ago. It was a bright summer day and the |
|
sun was catching the diamonds in my ring and they looked so |
|
beautiful with all the colours sparkling. I also have a ring |
|
which just has diamond chippings and even those little tiny |
|
diamonds were sparkling. Non of the stones have any intrinsic |
|
beauty of their own it was the sunlight making them look |
|
beautiful. And it is the Son's light that give us our beauty, |
|
even those who feel small and insignificant will shine in His |
|
light. |
