The Ten Commandments are Not multiple choice!
"Yieldedness"
We must remain moldable and pliable
in the hands of God.
So he can fashion us into Christ's image.
as on this earth we plod.
So, when we are hurt by others,
don't become 'bitter' and 'dry',
Else we become 'brittle and broken'
and God we can't satisfy!
For He is looking for 'yieldedness',
not 'perfect' vessels of clay.
Wanting us to 'grow' as His children.
and from all bitterness turning away.
forgiving others' offences.
keeps us 'soft and pure'.
Enabling God to 'mold' us
a 'yielded' life for sure!
Then He can mold our flaws.
And press them 'out' of us,
removing specks and boards,
for us a great big 'plus'!
