Every Repuation Matters to God

Pretending to be the pure an innocent, a viper the mask hides. In the absence of those to defending themselves, the more vigorously it swears. Those that show too credulous favor to listen, instead of being careful, to insist on sound validation. No elixir or spell can cure, only truly depends on first loving themselves. 7/19/2017

This is a powerful poem, dear. It is easy to see the sin in others and forget the sin in our own hearts.

This is a truth that we should all keep in mind, Eve, and you've expressed this beautifully. I LOVE this. Too often, people are so quick to point fingers instead of looking in the mirror. Definitely a FAV for me.

Eve Roper
Date: 7/20/2017 2:29:00 PM

Thank you, Becca, for reading and the FAV.. Hugs

I dont read the Bible nor do I profess to call myself religious, but I do like to think of myself as Spiritual and being One with The Creator. One of the stories that stood out and has been remembered by me is this one"'He who is without sin can cast the first stone". A lesson that we should be following , but ignore, falling in the trap of criticizing others again and again? Eve this is an excellent poem. Your point is very valid...Maria

Never good to participate in gossip. It is so damaging. A very important subject, Eve. Well done:)

Eve Roper

Thank you, Daniel... ... it destroys people's lives at times..that is why we have so much in our world right now, a state of great disturbance. ~*

So true Eve, some are so quick to judge, but who are they to judge? Live and let live, forgive and move on.. or at least try to resolve the matter with maturity.. God, knows all and he sees all.. That is the most important thing to me.. Excellent write, definitely a FAVE.

Eve Roper
Date: 7/20/2017 7:24:00 AM

Awe, thank you. Myself, since I believe in God, I don't want to see him angry when it is my time, even now... no no no...
