Prepared To Receive The Grace Of Christ? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Can blind an atheist
a philosopher know
power of Holy spirit?

Martin Luther wrote
'It is certain the man must
utterly despair of his own ability

before he is prepared
to receive the grace of Christ.'

What wisdom weighted
rests in these words?

In Christ we are not
'operating out of self-sufficiency,
but out of total dependency

on Christ and in need
of being empowered
by the Spirit.'

Shall we 'boast in our weakness instead
of displaying our self-righteousness
and strength. This is obviously folly

and nonsense to the world,
but to those who are being saved
it is the power of God.'

God dwells in flesh which received
sought after blessings from God
as such flesh aspires dwells in God.
