True Genius

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness. Hannah More


Poem Artwork

 
Said Hannah More
“Genius is only a lamp on the outer gate of a citadel without religion”
With all man’s intellect he is only guessing when he tries to make a decision
 
True knowledge is the realization that it was God who created us all
If one does not come to this conclusion his life is doomed to a fall
 
Things we know for sure and what we cannot explain limit our very wisdom
Even the most educated will find a point to which they come
 
Where they simply must say I do not know for this is truly a mystery
Man has followed his own idea and fallen many times throughout history
 
How do we explain the Earth’s creation? Was it simply formed by chance?
There are those who truly think that way but I don’t take that stance
 
The Earth, the stars and our human bodies were formed by God above
He is the amazing architect who worked and works today with love

Truly a fact of life.

Amen and Amen! For there to be a design, there has to be a designer. Why anyone would doubt the existance of our Creator God puzzles me. The stars proclaim His majesty; and demons tremble at the mention of His name! It troubles me that many would prefer to believe that they came from monkeys rather than created by God Himself...!
Another brilliant, thought-provoking write, dear friend, Lew. I appreciate and enjoy reading our works. Thanks heaps! :)

God Bless,
Hugs,
Lena

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
