Exceptional is your heart pure? Reflections For The New Day : Search Your Heart by Jewell McChesney Faith contest entry little punctuation on purpose,loose rhyme, no intended meter

You need not be an intellect Of any master mind Or a gracious poet Creating songs of special kind Or even be a perfect saint No history of mistake or walk in grace and dignity shining a spotless face Although good works seem kindly To any human eye A holy God looks in your heart Intention He will find Out of our hearts spring fountains Of revelations strong The treasures which are buried there Become eternal songs Integrity reveals pure truth A wicked heart tells lies Your character paints pictures For every viewing eye Take time to rest and listen To the truth which sits within Rid yourself of anger Resentment, fear; all sin The heart with understanding Seeks knowledge all his days But mouths of fools eat folly Empty words and faithless ways Before you boast of victories Be sure to open wide your heart A haughty saint is irony His light will have no part You may speak in tongues of angels Carry swords upon your side Or dance a dance of justice In your heart have foolish pride A God of Love and mercy Cannot move through you Your life a snuffed out candle in dark exposes truth A broken heart laid open For all the world to view Will find your true salvation A flame will shine in you Recognized Author Notes Without love we are as clanging brass.... Thanks belgrano for the colorful flame. This represents to me, true worship. God bless all who read and review
