What am I to do?
Despite the Truth, I seem ill-equipped
to endure temptation and avoid muddle.
What is the Way?
The allurement of “love” and enticement of “success”
are rife with superficial deals
Why do I have-to change?
Life is the same old same old challenge
and we are all saved that is the plan
Be good –
Have nothing to with worldly wants
with gratitude seek fulfillment
Do good –
“… to escape entanglements,
do not cultivate the benevolence of the rich and powerful.”[1]
Be a power for good
Trust in God’s mercy and compassion
have confidence in restoration
“Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.”[2]
