FOR MEN - THE THREE Fs

by Ronald Ferguson © 1999

There are three Fs the Christian man must try to cultivate.
These qualities must be pursued; with them, not hesitate,
For they develop in one's life, the necessary means
Of balanced Christian growth and health. On these the Christian leans.

A FAITHFULNESS of heart and deed will speak of loyalty.
"Well done, thou faithful child of Mine, who lives reality."
In walk and life, and action too, this faithfulness must show.
Dependence on the Lord your God enables you to grow.

How does your FELLOWSHIP progress? What is its current state?
Do you make sure you meet with those who to their Lord relate?
Essential is the gathering of kindred Christian folks,
For all support the other ones, as in a wheel - the spokes.

How precious is such FRIENDSHIP shown, in loving Christian care.
When sorrow, hurt or heartache comes, with others do you share?
How pleasing is a friendly soul who mirrors his Great Friend!
Compassion is His quality. Like Him, our time should lend.

And these three Fs should play a part in Christian walk each day.
Without their help at different times, we stumble in the way.
Do not neglect these special three, for they are pillars great
To keep your temple locked in place and in a happy state.
