Job 35:6

6 If you sin, how does it affect God?
If your transgressions are many,
what does it do to Him?

 

What a marvelous statement to be written in the wind

and to believe such thought will open the door to vision.

How fruitless sin must be ... on the verge of insanity

for it accomplishes nothing ... but self degradation.

 

Can I hurt God ... if it is not through disappointing

His Son, Who gave Himself ... for the wretch I am?

Through my self-chosen blindness ... not wanting live Grace

that He made available ... to make my life sublime.

 

What is hurt or what is pain … in the spiritual realm?

“Broken heart and contrite spirit” ... what does it really mean?

Self-inflicted wounds … do they hurt as much

as they bring pain unto others ... through our thoughts unclean?

 

Is it so obvious … and so much easier

to be part of this world … than to dwell in the unknown?

To live by own interpretation ... and except this as reality

without any contemplation … what really is our own.

 

In our hurt emotion … do we hunger to get even

or to hurt someone else ... as we think we hurt ourselves.

By using our own measure … and feeling all the pity

we bring selves to the point ... where no one else should dwell.

 

To get even with God … what a silly notion

and still it motivates us … to do things we think.

Will it hurt God the Father … as in our silly ways

as we try in our own selfishness ... to draw near to Him?

 

Yes we know He cares … we use that to our advantage.

We even try blackmail God … addressing His emotion.

Like we did to our parents ... as to force them to our side

by pushing the love they have … towards our own devotion.

 

In the center of the Altar … we have placed ourselves

and the one we adore the most … looks at us in the mirror.

Here and there for a little while … we share our admiration

on our terms with someone else ... in a constant metaphor.
