🖤Ecclesiasticus 21:1-5,11
[1]My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
[2]Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
[3]All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
[4]To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
[5]A prayer out of a poor man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
[11]He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.🖤

Sinner or Saint ? By Dayanah Ahmawanah 🖤

Sinner ?
I ain’t
Doing my best to be a Saint ,
Sinner ?
Not this girl ,
I hate the wickedness in this world ,
I pray daily
Depart me from me
Iniquity
Asking from The Most High
A pardon for me
Fleeing from the sin ,
I do so naturally
Knowing every fall
Affects me for eternity
The word of The Most High
Is a two edge sword ,
That heals as it cuts out the iniquity
But the sin itself is a two edge sword
That can kill me ,
I’ll take the sword in the hand of
Christ my Lord , to cut me
Rather than the sword from the enemy me
That was placed in the hands of the inner me
But I dropped that sword ,
And ran away to The Lord’s feet
Humbly , praying for mercy
Pleading
So
Sinner ,
I ain’t ,
Doing my best to be a Saint
Because Sinner I ain’t ,
I keep the law
With much delight
Always got the kingdom on my mind
With fear I serve The Most High and Christ ,
And He grows my wisdom
Knowledge, understanding
My peace and joy stays multiplied
I’m an Israelite
Knowing alone I am nothing
But with Christ , I aim to be perfect
As my Father is perfect
Knowing anything I lose
To gain them
Is more than worth it ,
I may fall seven times
But each time, I’ll repent and get back up again ,
This chick , ain’t into willing
Or presumptuous
sin
I’m not a zealot
I’m just zealous
So Sinner,
I ain’t ,
Doing my best to be a Saint
If you’re not like minded
Equally Yoked
We ain’t
