Thought 320
Rome didn’t fall in a
day. It was a process with a beginning and
an end. – so are our lives . . .
In life we will have many battles and
temptations ahead of us. We will face “stuff.” And if the “stuff” isn’t dealt
with according to the Lord’s prescription, it can grow into something very
ugly. Hopefully following poem will hit home the concept for you:
Little heart, what was that?
O! You have a secret.
Well, little heart take this advice:
You cannot hide vice or dice for long, one day the truth
will be told.
Then your secret will shame you, that is, your hidden sins
Will be laid forth before all later on.
Yonder, over there the secret is crawling out.
O little heart, you have hidden your sin for two months, a
year
And ten days, but I see your hidden package drawing near.
The package is being opened!
Yuck! EEU! What a disgusting thing!
Little heart, the only thing you should have buried within
Thee, is the Word of our Lord.
But alas, you have had a hard time, your sin was not buried
there in
The purity of the Cross.
May God bless and cleanse and heal and rapture,
You, your poor little heart as you repent of your sin.
Fare the well, and may ye learn from this little heart
tale.
What we go through in life an tear us down or be a
victory as we submit it to Christ.
