Poem
Lord I’ve been to the garden and knelt down on both knees. I prayed to you with prayers and often with needful pleas. I thought that I had reached a place where I was safe and sound. That you would protect and keep me from evil all around. So quickly did I learn that that was not the case. For evil seems to follow like a game of chase. If you ever take your eyes off the Masters Words. Wickedness is invited in, in case you haven’t heard. Bitterness is just a key to let the devil in. Forgiveness is the way to heal this mortal sin. Bitterness breeds anger, and anger just leaves hurt. Show only love and forgiveness and keep your mind alert. A tongue used in gossip is a dirty tongue indeed. It only breeds hatefulness and spreads the devils seed. Gossiping and sharing are often one in the same. We Christians are bad about sharing and pointing fingers as to who’s the one to blame. Sometimes it seems so hard to build up our fellow man. I know that we can do it, for God says we can. When I get really down I picture our Savior there on Cavalry Hill. I can just imagine the horror and the sadness as he took that bitter pill. The Lamb of God was slain that day crucified but still He bowed His head to pray. Forgive them Father, they no not what they do were the words our Savior said that day. Nailed to that cross like a mere piece of meat. While the most precious of all blood ran from His hands, head, side and feet. Why, why, why can’t we ever learn? It’s kind of like we want to go to hell, and bitterness, anger, and hate is what we desire or maybe what we even yearn! Lord Jesus please forgive us and show us what is right. There are too many deceivers that are hiding in Your precious light. Thank You for allowing me to express what’s in my heart. Thank You for forgiving me each time I always fall a little short.
