Carnality

"To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe,
nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted."
NIV Titus 1:15

O evil prophets with banality
Cursing God's children for carnality

Do ye not know that God in His pure Love?
Always joins the glorious flesh act of,

Two lovers sharing heaven's ecstasy
As gifts of passion are exchanged freely.

How can such blessing ever be accursed?
Me thinks 'tis thine own heart, that Satan nursed

Why blame, and shame, God's children, innocent?
Is it not thine own soul, 'tis sorely bent

By carnality.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Newell, this is such a sad but true issue that many of us face, and my heart goes out to all these non-believers and I pray that they can find something to believe in to help them to find joy and freedom to their dreams and ambitions of life! (sad sigh) So sad but well-written, sweet friend, may this doubt be replaced with reassurance of true love and bliss, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Newell,
What wise words are these! 'Tis true if God did not want us to love he would not have created passion.
