The Way

Broad is the way that seems right to the mind’s concept OF God,
while narrow is that way love leads life as moral precept which IS God.
Love is the right way, while indecision dwells as one’s mind concept,
thus a double minded man/woman is unstable in all their ways!

The mind’s concept is judgmental logic between good and evil.
However, Love is the good seed of which the mind is derivative.
Dwell not as a judge in the house of  the mind’s indecision,
for of what measure you mete shall be measured to you again!
But dwell in love, the house of the Lord, and thy servant mind 
within thy house, shall be brilliant and blissful!

If we truly lve by the precepts of love, we will never find ourselves debating between good and evil. When our minds are filled with indecision, we need only turn to our hearts for answers. Beautifully explained, John. Love, Carolyn

This is a good one about the fact that God is Love and Love is of God..We can't really love with a Godly love until me have God in our heart..Enjoyed reading your work..May your gift continously flow onto the pages of soup..Your presence at my work lifted my spirits...Sara
