just a little something

Just did a little doodleing during a sunday sermon...

Like a car needing gas to run
Humans were created to run on God
Satan then made man believe that
Humans can run on their sinful want

When humans embraced this idea
By eating the fruit forbidden
They were on the downhill path hence
Craving for things they thought would bring joy,
Like a child craving for Frito Lay's

But God still wanted to cure
This sick patient overfed with unnecessary food.
By supplying them with a prickly conscience
That continually gives them the correct sense

Humans continued to be stubborn
And rendered his conscience forlorn.
Thus God didn't have any other choice
But to send His Son to set the pace.

Unfair! Man raises his voice against Him
Son of Man, Son of God, who gave you right to rule?
We can't match his Godly sample!
Even all angels were perplexed,
at the distorted view of humans vexed.

Have you ever seen,
a man saving a fellow man from sinking?
He has a foot planted firmly on solid ground
While the other foot, on the ground as the sinking one.

Thus He came, partly God, partly man,
to save us, ungrateful us,
from our polluted way of thinking.
And deliver us from our prior folly.

~inspired by C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity

a nice reading

Holy friendship has no looks but what are simple and modest, no caresses but those that are pure and sincere, no sighs but for heaven, no familiarities but those of the soul, no complaints but that God is not loved, the infallible signs of purity.

Worldly friendship confuses the judgment.. Holy friendship has a clear light and does not seek to hide itself, appearing willingly before good men.

When we see a man dress himself out and draw near to flatter and wheedle, and whisper in the ears of a woman with no pretension to lawful marriage, without doubt it is in order to incite her to impurity; and a virtuous woman will close her ears to the voice of the charmer who seeks to enchant her; but if she hearken to him, what an ominous sign it is of the future loss of her heart!

Young people who indulge in looks and caresses, or speak in words in which they would be unwilling to be surprised (i.e., overheard) by their fathers, mothers, husbands or wives, bear witness that their conduct is not that of honor and conscience. The Virgin Mary was troubled on seeing an angel in human form because she was alone, and he praised her greatly although his praise was heavenly. O saviour of the world! Purity fears an angel in the form of a man; why then does not purity fear a man even in angelic form, when he pours forth praises sensual and human?
