Man's Heart: Full of Hatred -Jeremiah 17:9,10

There are so many people around this world
rage and malice fills many a heart
which results in fights and battles galore
but the question is where did it all start?

Ever since the world began so long ago
mankind fell into sin causing all to sin
in the garden, iniquity arrived when Adam fell
all mankind then born in sin no one can win

As life goes on in school and adulthood
sin shows it's ugly head with many a fight
both internal and external Satan attacks
using his attacks to draw us in his night

Scripture says that hearts desperately wicked
who indeed can know it's deceitfulness
no words can adequately describe it
for hate is indeed utter sinfulness

But God has provided a remedy
in Jesus Christ God's begotten son
on the cross, He was the perfect sacrifice
taking on man's sin redemption was done


('The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.)
Jeremiah 17: 9,10 (KJV)

Hi Gordon, Again a wonderful message to everyone to bear no malice - sometimes I must admit however, that it is hard to turn the other cheek. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Sin is the biggest problem in the world. A fine summation in poetic form.
