Not Simple Anymore

I
Fear of God was healthy for friends
The relationship was it, not ulterior ends

II
Fear of God is still widely spoken
Love of things, brings Promises broken

Most of us are driven by ulterior ends. But Jesus loves us unconditionally without ultrior motives . Our love for material things prevents us from loving God and keeping our promises. Rightly put dear Anil brother.....

Hello Anil. Nothing is simple anymore except the sincere and genuine one on one relationship with God. You are you always (smile). May today be a good day in every way. Love and Blessings always. Shalom and Namaste always. Peace Peace and Peace once more. (smile)

Ulterior motives do not have the fragrance of sincere and honest love, whether towards God or to one another, Anil. I like how you use words to make us stop, think and act wisely. ~ Best regards & Happy Easter, my friend. // paul
