Simplistic Views

To love that which can not be loved Is to accept grace from the Lord above To hate that which should not be hated Is to let one’s self be eternally degraded To think that which should not be thought Allows your own soul to be easily bought Most things in life are very easy to see If you hold simplistic views like me “It is what it is” and it always was The reason why, “Just because” What shall happen shall come to pass Accept it gracefully and show your class As you live out the story of your today Let Jesus Christ guide your way In doing so you will be able to see The Lord guiding you to eternity

You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. This is so very well written and filled with wise advice. Well done. Love Heidie

The best world leader would be age ten or under, before they learn to hate. Life usually becomes complicated due to twisted thinking. We create our own complications. Have a wonderful day, Michael. Vince
