He started out by saying

Something similar

To the words we read below.

"You have heard it said of old,"

He said,

And then,

"But I say unto you . . ."

And then He boldly told them

"You have heard it said of old,

That you need to feed

Your own needs first,

Before you seek to feed

Instead it always seeks to feed

The needs of those around it,

First,

Even if

There is very little fruit

Growing on its branches."Based on      Matthew 5:43-48and Romans 13:8-10 

Some say,

That feeding others first

Sounds way too

Impossible.

Or that it seems

The very same sense,

That every miracle

The Lord ever did,

Or ever will do,

Is utterly impossible

Or imitate,

Or do.

Simply put,

The ways of God

Are way beyond

Our comprehension.

And yet even though

They far exceed
