Galatians

“You fools” Paul says

To the Church is Galatia

To the Church today

And to me.

“You got confused

You got misled

Add your rules

And prejudices too.”

“Listen to me” he says in anger

“Listen to Christ

Look at The Cross

You don’t need rules

Just look in Faith

And you’ll be free.”

In his anger he loves

In his frustration he hurts

As his Master he serves

Is disobeyed and ignored.

In love he says

“Live by The Spirit

And leave sin behind

Be like trees

Grow and develop fruit.

Be patient.

Be kind.

Have love and joy.

Have peace and self-control.

Be gentle.

And be faithful

To The Christ you serve.”

Finally he closes

After opening his heart

“May the Grace of Jesus

Be with you evermore

For today and generations to come.”
