Earning My Right*

I learned a lot from my dream last night

From its message I will now do it right

I won’t teach religion in a dirty house

or renounce God's truth by judging those who want to know

and I will always be prepared
having His word on hand to show

From this day forward and for the seeker’s sake,

I will be true to my Faith, not a fake

I will not ramble on ~ hook or crook

I’ll offer a book
(without wanting it returned)

The right to teach my Faith, I will earn

by being a sample ~ an example

I will forever teach

I will not preach

I will offer the Truth, then pray

It was a good dream in a way,

confusing until I awakened

talking in my sleep ~ shaken

Thank you, Spirit ~

From your message I now understand

to only trust in God

I lay all my affairs in Thy hand
