God wants our honesty
In all things and in all our devotions.
Without honesty,
God will accept nothing from us.
Our sacrifices will be worthless,
For God's Law is not written on stone,
But in our hearts and minds.
God's Law is first and foremost
Honesty in all things.
Then kindness, love, gentleness, and last but not least,
Compassion for all men.
Honesty makes our hearts into
Temples of the living God
Dishonest people will not have
God dwelling within them
For He will live in the hearts and minds of
People who are honest.
God cannot and will not live
In the hearts of unrepentant, dishonest people,
Because he is the truth for all times and places.
Amen
Very glad to have a new poem\prayer to read and think about as well as a beautiful piece of art. You wrote about honesty in a way to help us tell the truth even to ourselves. I will read your poem to Ruth Ann and tell her about the wonderful colors in your embroidery.
