Who are God’s People
That they can claim that they are
Or speak in judgement of who is
And who, to them, are not?

For of such things and titles
Was establishment made by God
And the Son of Man
Who taught us of the Father

So that no man may boast of such
As with pride and superiority claim
Nor with favour or pander given
To deceive another into rank
That they may buy their way into favour
By the acceptance of an earthly judge

As no man has authority over God
Nor has been given judgement of men
Neither before the foundation of earth
Even until now to decree of self
Or of another for justified self
That these or they are of God

As it is known by the Word
Of the Son of Man and Lord
That they of His flock seek no glory
Nor to give payment of glory
Nor to receive payment of man’s glory
As glory itself belongs solely to God

For it is the greatest of God
Who serve the lowest of earth
And the least of the earth
To be loved by God’s people
As the Son of Man did

As God did not come for the self righteous
But to heal the broken of their sickness
To bring the light of the Father to the blind
To open the ears of the deaf to the Father’s love
To free the slave of their powerlessness
To comfort the disquieted mind, heart and soul
To feed the hungry and clothe the naked

And the greatest of these act in such manner
Without seeking acknowledgement and praise
Without seeking the knowing of other men
Without seeking acceptance of their work
Without the promise of the flatterer
Or the trade of glory for profit
And without the seeking of any reward

And it is the greatest of God
Who lay down their life for another
Who pay the price to comfort another
Who sacrifice their own possession and time
So that they who suffer may be released

Not that they be seen by men
Nor rewarded by men for negotiated gifts

It is he who in his loss
Though tormented and wounded himself
Comforts and serves another in their loss
By his own choice to love freely
Without seeking glory
That both are made Whole

And he who opens himself to harm
Though afraid and vulnerable himself
In order to protect another from harm
By his own choice to love freely
Without seeking glory
That both are made Holy

For of all these, are they seen by God
And acting in accordance with the Word of God
Titled and Accounted as the greatest of God’s People
By the Son of Man and the Father of Heaven
Who’s glory is God’s to give
And proven by the love found in them
Which is the love of God

So much so
That the eyes of a witness sees God in them
Still knowing the man they are
That by witness, not sought by the doer
Are both in awe of God, and not themselves
Giving glory and praise to God
That our Father turned flesh into spirit
Making whole their Faith of the Kingdom of God

But of they who seek and devise their profit
That they may reward another for gain
Or that another may reward them for gain
Wether of gold, or trinkets, or security or flattery
Truly for any reason of self
Even so that together they may stand in their pride
Counting their greatness to one another
They too are titled and accounted by God
As liars, and cheats and thieves

For he who calls himself or another
God’s People
In order to distinguish or separate themselves
Indeed especially in superiority or judgment
Knowns neither God
Nor His people
As God has revealed

And by God’s wisdom do we also understand
That they who by vocation
Commit themselves to the actual service of man
Though compensated so they may live
Is it shown that they are worthy of their hire
Honoured and cherished by God
For it is not for glory they serve
Nor for self-righteousness and superiority
But for mankind do they strive
That we all may endure our flesh

God’s people are authorized only by God
And to whom He reveals
Though He desired this as no secret!
As He revealed to us also that we may know
For ears to hear
And eyes to see
That He called the wicked, His
And the poor to be His kings
And the ignorant, His brothers
And the fallen, to be forgiven to Salvation
That not one be lost

And neither that any man be ignorant
Of the darkness found in other men
But that we may carry God’s Light
To that darkness in another
Darkness revealed to us
NOT that we judge one another worthy
But that we offer love, where love is lost
And hope, where hope is shattered
And peace, where war rages in another

Even that the worst of us
May humble the greatest
By the desire and Glory of God alone
Thus has God revealed His People, Himself

For not one of us has been without darkness
Ourselves
And not one of us has created the light within us
Ourselves
