Deception

by royowen

Don't you ever draw conclusions,
from your bruises, wounds, contusions,
Your life's worth more than countless dreams,
much more than future's tempting schemes,

Your life will never hang from threads,
of something lying rumour spreads.
We should not don what cannot be,
in leaching poison one can't see.

Why do we hear that lying sound,
or read beyond what can't be found?
Do not give power...friendship's gifts
to evil things that plough dark rifts

Draw not from tattered, wounded souls
who stoke the flames of evil coals.
And do not feed with fiends who dine,
and drink from chaliced poisoned wine.

So don't be drawn by silken cords
that bridge the streams that truth affords.
We cannot own one single thing,
but we own grace, to that should cling.

R.Owen





In a world that constantly criticises governments, people, their beliefs and all without offering constructive solutions. Tell me honestly, would you welcome criticism that you were failing at something, earnestly trying?
Whatever happened to - do unto others that which that you would want them to do to you.

Ephesians 4:30-32
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of
redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
Berean Standard Bible
James 3:1-7
What we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know t he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet )it boasts of great things.

1John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 Timothy 4:1:
Some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2 Thessalonians 3:3:The Lord will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Thanks foe reading. R.Owen
