Yeast
Yeast rises and fills the
dough and
That soon doubles in size.
Yeast is best when
controlled,
With its dough pounded down.
The pounding makes it
rise again.
It becomes even larger and fuller.
Then, finally baked, it
stops rising,
And receives the applause of
Those who see and enjoy the
Work it has done.
JESUS said: Be careful
and watch out for
The yeast of the Pharisees,
The yeast of Herod,
The yeast of heart and soul.
The yeast of the Pharisees
Is the way that wants to look and sound good.
Is the way of arrogance and pride.
Is the way the judges and condemns others.
Is the way of thinking you know it all.
The yeast of Herod
Is the way of the celebrity culture,
Is the way of
total selfishness and blindness,
Is the way of think you’re better than all others.
Is the way of mind-games and control.
The yeast of the heart
Can rot your heart from the inside out,
Can make you immune to the hearts of others,
Can turn you to building only your own kingdom,
Can leave you empty and destitute with a heart
Full of ashes and dust,
Full of unfulfilled dreams and desires,
Full of hope for the only thing that will
help you.
JESUS.
The yeast of God’s Spirit
Can be the yeast
in my life and days
That makes my heart rise to Father,
The kneads me til I’m in His image
That swirls me round and round,
That mixes me with other flours and flavors.
God's yeast is the power
of my heart.
