I know my thoughts are not my own;
God knows them all too well,
and left unchecked would be seeds sown
to raise my own quite private hell.
But He gives nudges to the wise,
pokes the ribs of lazy louts,
and when He does not get replies
that is when He screams and shouts
in the sterner voice of conscience,
and the fish-hook pull of guilt
demanding that we cut the nonsense
and weep not o’er milk we’ve spilt
but think in faith’s determination
of His love, His inspiration.
“The fish-hook pull of guilt.” A new take on “fishers of men.” Well said!

I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?
Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.
