Check Up

 (Based on: II Corinthians 13:5-11, James 4:8)

We need a frequent "check up"
Of the spiritual kind-
One to keep us healthy
In body, soul, and mind!
Seems that Paul admonishes
Things that make us sick;
Which keep us from perfection
(And weigh down like a brick.)
Check your Faith and "prove" it
Each and every day...
The kind of Godly exercise
That gets us on our way!
Is there Love inside you
(Or are you "castaway?)
Do you show forgiveness
To have a better day?
Be of a single, Holy mind
(Put pride up on the shelf.)
Then leave with a clear conscience;
Plu-Perfect Bill of Health!
