Loving and Not - Thanx Joe Demino

I
When I have prepared Sunday Bible message
I may be seen again in the PS passage
Why, but let me explain
All the same
Usually Joe DeMino inspires thought
After leaving comment & afterthought
On his poem - I agree - I will choose love
Whether taught from parent below or above
Yet I add from Scripture (Romans, in Bible)
Why we incline toward greed & rebellion

II
It seems natural to love (some poets know it)
It seems natural to eat & take too much, we see it!
I am no negative, glass half-full guy
Yet, the bible tells ALL sides of the story
Sinner-adulterer King David was yet God's Beloved 
"A man after my own heart," God said of David
The devil made David to sin, the devil made me do it
There are more than love and charity within
The creature we feed, grows, truth for "sin"

Good topic for sermon, a great lesson in the relationship between God and David. You've shared a lesson filled with wisdom, Anil. Thanks, my friend, Bill Shalom, shalom

Amen. I think naturally of David, because I love the psalms, but you are kind. Akways. Shalom, shalom

Wonderful advice and teaching! I have a way of guiding myself in some matters when I am able to be spiritually rational: if I have to talk myself into doing something, tell myself a lot of whys and why nots...it is probably wrong. God's first language is not wordy.
