Greed

Jan 2, 2007
By: Rick L. King

What moves your heart?
Is it your own greed?
Or does compassion come
When you see your brother in need?

What is your joy?
Is it what self can possess?
Or is it how can you help
To see God’s will, manifest?

Greed is only about
Heaping treasure for a selfish one
It shows no love or mercy
It shows no likeness of God’s Son

Greed is always taking
With a motive that is impure
It matters not that another is hungry
They are just told to endure

If by greed one actually does give
It is only to get back more
Its motive is in self-love
And the lie they are living for

Real life is learning
To give everything away
Greed will only bring
Living a dead mans way

If you desire to find life
Then these words you better heed
You must learn to turn loose of all
And do what Jesus said, “Come and follow Me”.
