True Self

True Self
 
Pithy personality, rich fullness fills the inner realm, being brims lapping.
Brittle ego continues to control, to maintain appearances, society capping.
Content created by Word Made Flesh brings paradox to its full, magisterial height.
Creator of All infuses health, wholeness, sends falsehood in flight.
 
No need to masque the reality, more effectively claim one’s being.
Keeper of All lays out the fullness of each created one, sending Satan fleeing.
Baptized into Christ Jesus, one becomes a child of the Most High.
Forever the path clear, living with eternal hope, a promise ever nigh.
 
Our world loves the superficiality of competition, appearances photo-shopped.
Pasted smiles, condescending poses, pretentious resume’s, unappealing views cropped.
Spirit smiles with fulsome grace, filling Creator’s beloved with a joyous mirth.
They hold all imaginable skill, ability, possibility from their moment of birth.
 
Transparency, congruency, integrity, completeness only Keeper of All can maintain.
Our daily task to bring forth the caring person who can all hiddenness disdain.
Blessed the person who lives in the presence of the Almighty, fully experiencing love;
No innate capacity exists to be complete, ‘tis a gift including angels from above.
 
Word Become Flesh demonstrates the process by which incarnation works.
Natural processes bring miracles daily in a fecund flowing way, no flailing jerks.
From squalling little babe to curious boy to working carpenter in the shop,
Jesus of Nazareth grew in preparation for His Savior-hood, nothing could stop.
 
Each of us, a unique contribution, no one else can occupy our role.
We bring God Almighty’s plan, from the essence of each soul.
History documents the story, this magnificent tale, God’s drama.
No erasures, no missteps final, no false outcomes, down to the comma.
 
Honest introspection, dialogue probes to the core, examine each aspect real.
Our lives bring a working laboratory; we, the very players in life’s big deal.
Look into the mirror of God’s Word, let Spirit cleanse the understanding lens.
Boldly bring out the truth within you, your effort will truth cleanse.
 
Supple the boundaries of life, beautiful the creation God has made.
Bring your best effort to the day; know it contains bright light, soft shade.
Yourself, God’s great gift to you, your self-expression states God’s truth.
With passionate devotion let out the wonder felt, hide it not in ego’s little booth.
 
The Rev. Ronald Allen Melver, M.Div.
