Emile Pinet Poet Suzette Prime

A Moral Compass

the Lord
will not judge
you on how often you pray
or how
earnestly you pray

prayers are no more than words
they hold no meaning for God
He has no desire to be praised or worshiped
that was never your purpose
that's why He gave you free will

you're born with a soul
a moral compass
that forever points you in the direction
of love
and you will be judged
not on your interpretation of God's love
but on how you shared that love
with your fellow man

Sara Kendrick January 29, 2021 at 10:07 AM Sometimes it is not so easy to love but some people need lovin' the most when they are deserving it the least. Enjoyed reading this one. Sara Emile Pinet January 29, 2021 at 12:04 PM Thanks Sara, your wisdom shines light upon my words my friend, Emile.

Andrea Dietrich January 7, 2021 at 4:19 PM wow, Emile. I understand so well what you say here. So many religions focus on prayer, but in reality, our fate is already known. What will be will be. I do pray just to ask God for a bit of relief and to thank him for things, but the real purpose of our being here is to experience life, to understand right from wrong, to grow, and to love! Emile Pinet January 9, 2021 at 5:10 PM Thanks Andrea, you are so right, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile
