These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "Truth Without Consequence?"

How do we speak the Truth, that we may know
in ways, that show we love the one we seek?
One wonders, if it's possible to grow,
without some social errors, that seem bleak.

Evangelism is a dirty word
to those, who feel, that all ways must be right.
Yet, Truth is often spurious and blurred
when all is best, and nothing's more than trite.

Mere human, that I am can't know God's Mind.
Regenerating me, He makes me see.
His Kingdom's not a Place, that I could find.
His Gift of faith, now makes me sa-ved be.

He works within my heart to will and do,
that which will be His Pleasure ever true.

(Philippians 2:13, KJV)
