TEMPTATION ...

Temptation comes in all forms and disguises. In many situations, Temptation arises. Temptation can be found in lust. Where will it get me? When I get old and wrinkled and one day I turn to dust ... my Spirit then may try to get into Heaven's door ... but it won't even open with its key ... for you see ... to even look and think upon a man or a woman with desire is a grave sin.

I often wondered when I heard the words ... no one is without sin. What do they mean? I don't sin -- not me! I sat down to comprehend it all ... perhaps when I said this (?) or perhaps when I said that (?) maybe many of my thoughts could have even caused me to be a grave grave sinner (?) Perhaps ... Maybe (???) ME (???) "Yes, YOU, Little One, Diane ... no one is without sin."

"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, Feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heat, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

(Proverbs 6:16-23)

Almighty Holy God, is there a way to cleanse ourselves of every single evil deed (?) Please ... I blindly take Your Holy Hand and ask You to lead.

The good die young, some say ... I don't know if that's always true. The Holy Bible states that the length of life is three score and ten (70 years) and if you have great strength, it is four score (80 years).

OH, HOW I CRAVE MUCH MORE (!) How can I perfect myself in such little time? In this, my Temptation Prayer of rhyme, please, Almighty Creator God, make me more like Jesus ... show me how to shine ... (show us ALL) ...

IN ORDER TO BE THINE, I MAKE YOU FULLY MINE.

Such little time (!)

Do you realize that a person who is 25 years old has lived approximately 9,125 days; a 35-year-old, 12,775 days; a 45-year-old, 16,425 days; a 65-year-old, 23,725 days; and an 80-year-old, 29,200 days.

Such little time (!)

IN ORDER TO BE THINE, I MAKE YOU FULLY MINE,
THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

ALLELUIA! AMEN!

In humble Faith, Hope, and Charity,
and In Universal Love,
