Beata Agustin Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

Afflicting Covetousness

Wallowing in greed

insatiably covetous*

selfishness grievously poisons me...

Lord, forgive and transform my heart

by Your compassion toward lovingkindness-pursuit.

*Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Sara Kendrick July 12, 2019 at 2:35 PM Good one. Some people might not even know what covetousness is. It is wanting what another person has. Not something like that or something similar but what that person has. Sara. Thanks for the visit to my blog.
