Who Are You? A Mercy Channel (Tim Knipp)

Lying ideas circulate
and breed
more lies.
Couched in psycho-jargon
and hissed
in hungry ears
ideas shape us
and
misshape us.

Self-serving
inflates egos
and distorts reality.

God's mercy overflows,
transforming our
crooked souls.
 He blesses us with gifts -
not to adorn our mantels
with shining trophies -
but to equip us
for service.

Lay down your rights.
Surrender
to Him who lavished
mercy on you.

Become a channel
through which mercy flows,
your specialness
a conduit.
So open up.
Open up.
Let it go.

Feel His pleasure as you
give it up.
Give it up.

Rom. 12:1-8
