This Thing

A sickening thing that breaks a man
Head sits sadly in weak, weary hands
He needs what’s right, what’s true and good
He tries to fight. He knows he should.
What is this thing that lures his eyes
He’s come to hate. Loathe. Despise.
He stops to pray. He knows he must,
To beat this thing… this thing called lust.

    Beautiful in it’s sad essence of ugly truth. Something most of us have had, or still do, in our lives. I believe I like it so well because I have had the opportunity to see prayer break it’s horrid hold on soooo…many lives. I love Jesus with all of my heart and would not want to be in this world without Him. Ugliness comes in many colors, ‘lust’ is just one…

    A pleasure to have found your site,
