Thus says the Spirit:
Intentionality.
Effort.
Diligence unceasing.
By My Spirit —
You shall strike the mark.
Work out your salvation.
Be ye separated.
The voice of the Spirit thunders:
Purposed intentionality!
Behold —
I have set before you
Life and death.
Choose Life!
That you may live.
I have granted free will;
Yet My Spirit cries:
Turn!
Set your face!
Choose the Way of Life!
Acceptance is the beginning, not the end.
It is the gate, not the prize.
Walk ye through!
Move with purpose!
Run with resolve!
Set your face as flint
Toward the Kingdom!
Work out your salvation
With fear,
With trembling.
The sirens of Heaven sound.
The alarm is raised.
The Spirit warns:
Be diligent, O soul.
Be steadfast, O heart.
For the Day draws near —
Nearer than you know.
Thus says the Spirit.
