The Feast of Tabernacles - Conscience

10/13/12 A clear conscience is good; A mind open and sensitive to God’s way Produces peace and a sense of hope However, a weak conscience, One that is easily swayed and led away, Lacks the knowledge that keeps one sturdy; From a weak conscience, A mind and heart can be easily corrupted; Polluted by the evils of this world, The malevolent intent works Where sin and suffering run rampant, Burning our minds with horrid perversity, Giving way to that evil conscience The mind of an entity longing to turn minds Upside-down Open to evil, we make decisions coldly… When sin no longer bothers us, Our conscience is seared; It becomes unfeeling—cut off and silenced The dangerous mode erodes And the lack of guilt is just as dangerous As too much guilt However, godly guilt or sorrow leads to Restoration; And with prayer, No matter our minds Estate, Our minds will slowly repair, Surrounded by the Divine knowledge Of a perfect conscience *inspired by Ted Budge*
