Rediscover Your Conscience

We all have our own conscience some may be hardened and seem asleep but others are awake ready to hear it sure needs heard aloud even if deep In our conscience, there's an inner voice to guide us in life's various pathways it's not audible but it does surely speak showing us right from wrong each day When we ignore that real conscience we can find it hardened with no voice then we get into all sorts of trouble so we need God to show us our choice There's also a guilty conscience to fear when you do wrong and know it so so good for then that's healthy from this point, you can strike a blow A clear conscience is God's gift so knowing this with assurance makes one feel so very blessed when you rediscover your conscience

I love God but respect God's wrath. The Old Testament has many examples. He is a God of love and is my best friend - I thank him every day for little things and when I lost my first child at 5 days old, never blamed God. Had a conversation with one of the family about what I would do if someone threatened to kill me if I continued to Love God, my answer was I would choose death over denying Him. How could I ever live with myself if my consciousness was not clear? Brilliant poem Ble.. Jen.

I totally agree my friend. A clear conscience is a gift from God that should be appreciated. It isn't worth it to give up a clear conscience just so you can blend in with the crowd and be "popular" or have "friends". A real friend won't want you to do anything that is wrong or goes against your better judgement. Great advice. God Bless, JB

Hello Gordon … yes, a conscience is respect for everything around us not just appeasing other humans. It appears that there less and less with consciences now - thank you Gordon - Lindsay

People often mistakenly declare that they have a clear conscience when in fact they are very wrong in their actions - in fact, challenging you to prove differently. Blessed are those who truly have a clear conscience in their actions.

A nice poem to be led to today Gordon. A conscience is so important to the giving and love in this world vs. the opposite. I hope this thought provoking poem reaches many :)

Everyone ought to have an active conscience and discern the good we can perform. Many think hell does not exist. It is a grand lie.

Thanks Victor, Glad you liked this one and so agree with your sentiments especially on the denying of hell, even some Christians seem to deny it, so sad for it will happen! Thanks again, blessings always,Gordon
