Philippians 4:8-9

Philippians 4:8-9, “Finally brothers, as much as is true, as much as is honorable, as much as is just, as much as is pure, as much as is lovely, as much as is admirable, if anything is virtuous and if anything is praise worthy, think on these things. And that which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things and the God of peace will be with you.”

From beauty beheld, comes beauty in deed

For where the mind rests is where the soul feeds

And what the soul eats empowers the life

Wielding the body as scalpel or knife

So may our mind’s eye behold our High Priest

And may our soul feed on Calvary’s feast

For in Him is all the excellency

Kenosis of God, true humility.
