2009, Enlightenment Age? Bull cookies! Man has taken a measure of himself that only man can see it not as a mirage, a wish, a wannabe pipe dream.
From the dark ages to now man climbed the arduous side of the mountain with sweat, blood and tears...when he decided not to climb anymore because he was already at the zenith?
When he decided he was greater than God?
Gangantuan shadows in the soul of the guilty,
no excuse will be validated by the mighty God
as man will present himself as the poor victim
and not as the sinner man, in front of his Lord,
what he will say to Him, destroying His creation
his all he did and his final judgment heres now,
“the Devil make me do it” will be lame excuse,
and on the Final Day excuses wouldn’t be worth
sudden prayers from an hypocritical being that
thought of himself better than his mighty God.
In the scope of the great Universe out there,
man is a little funny thing walking around,
nobody can see him looking from the moon
and yet, he thinks of himself greater than God,
you should have seen he be so proud when
rubbing two wood sticks together making fire
he thought of man made an all mighty magic
without needing the intervention from the skies,
because he was the one that make things happen
so he was solely him the one to be admire!
Man’s backpack is full of those Deadly Sins,
like Sloth, Wrath, Envy and everlasting Pride,
forget not Lust, Gluttony and unending Greed
which make not for a résumé of his short life
with no place in there for Heavenly Virtues
like Faith, Hope, Charity, and Justice allied
with Fortitude, Temperance and Prudence,
that could have made he better in God’s eyes,
but no, man seems to think that he knows best,
even when his mirrors, all of it, just denies.
INHERITED 'WEAKNESSES' STEMMING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN...IT IS SO EASY TO DO WRONG YET, EXTREMELY HARD TO DO RIGHT. THANK GOD FOR HIS MARVELOUS MERCY AND GRACE THAT TAKES MAN'S MISERIES AND FAILURES...AND TURNS THEM INTO VICTORIES AND WINNINGS. CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF OUR CREATOR WE ARE SADDLED WITH, WHAT APPEARS TO MANY TO BE, THE 'IMPOSSIBLE' TASK OF REACHING OUR ETERNAL REWARD. HOWEVER, THOUSANDS OF US, IGNORING THE SCOFFERS AND PESSIMISTS AND DESPITE DETERMINED OPPOSITION, WE LEARN HOW TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE...WE LEARN HOW TO LEAN ON OUR HEAVENLY FATHER...AND THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SON AND...WE MAKE IT!!! ULTIMATE FAILURES?...NO, I WOULDN'T THINK SO, GEORGE... I WOULD SAY...ULTIMATE ACHIEVERS. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS VERY WELL DONE, THOUGHT PROVOKING WORK. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Excellent write here on a topic which one might call a hot potato. No one wants to hold it for long. I read a powerful little book about 10 years ago called What Would Jesus Do? I ask myself that question often when confronted with a choice. Keeps me out of trouble quite a bit. Big hug Georg, J'nia
Did God tell you I broke another mirror Georg?
My mirrors broke over & over again…and on it goes…
I mend & repair…but yes I admit I am also one with a pack back
It’s contents not quit the same…carting around many regrets…
but many new mirrors…to recover my souls reflection
through the hopeful eyes of love…your words humble me :)
we are all perfect souls in this imperfect world…
Peace, Love & Blessings

George, very touchy subject. Written so well, I want to say so much....but i rather keep quiet, becasue it is such a complicated subject to me,
Love, Ankin
Those mirrors are cracking and breaking and mankind perhaps is getting a good look at what we have become. The time is now to get back to the word of God....
Wow! You sure put us on the "hot-seat"...mind you, Georg, that's where we should be if we don't change our ways. Few of us just might make those needed changes and teach others to live im God's Grace; we must all try. Great message, friend!

A deep, philosophical write my friend. We always have an excuse for our actions. If we would only think as we live life, "is this pleasing to God?" our sins would be less. In the end we are accountable.
Georg you are quite a philosopher, your mind is as deep as your heart. It's so odd, man is far below God, yet elevated to be created in His image and his most beloved creation. Charged with being the caretakers of creation, man has messed up big time.
Your title says it all: when man thinks they're above God, that they ARE God, that's when they've failed. God hasn't gone anyplace: He's still there, watching man make an utter fool of of themselves as they destroy His creation and each other. One of these days, one good ZOT will take care of them. =] Sooner than we think: Come, Lord Jesus. An excellent, thought provoking pen, Georg, well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Oh my...very well written sweet man....as always a pleasure to read...stay safe and well..Hugss
Too many think of forgiveness from the one HE cruxified for us, too many think paradise is on the other side, after the forgiveness.
Too many don't care for this one He made, all HIS handywork we destroy because we are so smart, we think, so greedy, etc, we don't respect what HE made, and who HE is. We forget HE is the total of all things, we destroy ourselves with not acknowledging that, but most of all, we destroy ourselves being ungrateful, we cheapen even the gift of HIS SON, for we sin first, and hoping remorse will follow, the ultimate blasphemy mocking GOD. I can see you looking into the looking glass, and seeing it very well, without pride, remembering not the invention of the ultimate spy machine, but the one who made the glass. Our failure is looking only to see what is outside of us, we need to invent a spyglass to look inside of us, as you have done, but you are like Noah, He shouted into the wilderness too before the flood. This flood might not come from the rain of the heavens for the rainbow, but well up from underneath our feed, it will be a whale of a tale, and for certain tears will not fail.
You are a prophet, will they listen? have they ever?

I think mankind failed when they removed prayer from the homes and schools of our nation; now look where we are at. I fear for our nation now more than ever! This is when I say, "Come, Lord Jesus, You can't come soon enough!" Which is the gospel truth! Powerful pen, Georg; well done!

Georg you are so right. Nan has been failing since the dawn of time. we may very well destroy ourselves. the odds are against us, and yet we cannot give up. thank you Georg for your candid and clear view

From deadly pride all sins come forth. But to day we celebrate the Exaltation of the Cross may we bow our heads and ask for His forgiveness who gave His life to save us, Jesus Christ.
The Harvest of Souls Crossover is a story that is exciting, vigorous, and full of suspense about the fight of good and evil in two realms, the light and dark world. The Howdy Family is determined to defeat the world of darkness, led by the seemingly

These sad days, I now wonder if we are really God's children or the Devil's Spawn.
