Beguiled, tricked in by flattery, deluded by the lies.  Left holding emptiness and all that falsehood buys.  Wondering which road to take based solely on my wiles.  Standing in delirium while the accuser sits and smiles.  Praise Almighty God for this that I’ve never been alone.  I may have made a mess of things but He is still upon the throne.  Backsliding into misery I’ve left safety, love and truth.  Seeking some fulfillment in my wisdom absent youth.  But true to all His Promises, He never let me go.  Though I’ve missed out on many blessings, His answer isn’t no.  So I called upon His name on my face in dust and mud.  And He washed away my filthy sin with His all redeeming Blood.  My life belongs to Jesus, all to Him I owe.  His Spirit lives within me allowing me to grow.  Some day I’ll sit and chat with Him about the things I have and haven’t done.  Then He’ll wipe my tears away and remind me that we’ve won.

Apart from Christ there is no fulfillment in this life only sensory stimulation.  Do not believe any voice, even those of angels seeking to lead you to any authority other than Almighty God.  Ridicule and suffering may come but they will be forgotten by the blessings of righteousness, truth and justification seen in the Face of Jesus Christ the King.  Amen.
