Heart of Mine- Real Grace Reflection #22

Without further adieu, another reflection on L.O.M.T.'s 2015 theme, REAL GRACE.

HEART OF MINE

Heart of mine, love others as
You're loved now and before
Beat strongly to your brothers for
Up on you grace has poured

Heart of mine, be good for he
Is so, so good to you
Do what is right at every turn
Since you have been made true

Heart of mine, seek just the pure for
Beauty is your name
Turn from the things that tempt you for
To you perfection came

NOTE ON THE TITLE: After writing these lyrics, I considered what title to put on them.  During this process, I remembered HEART OF ME, a song written by Craig Oldenburg when he served at Camp Lone Star a few decades ago.  It struck me that the message of HEART OF ME is the foundation on which a loving heart can be built.  Thus, it seems to me that HEART OF MINE is in some ways a sequel to HEART OF ME.
