+ 27.225 MHz: The Sin That Doth So Easily Beset . . . Me

[after Hebrews 12:1]


Two-sided is my sin:

one face of it is pride, the other lust.

But Jesus shows me I need not give in

to its beckoning, nor fall to it again;

but set it, with resolve, aside

(though it be monstrously intrusive and snide).

Its eruptions always seem to coincide

with moments when I am most spiritually weak;

but then from my Bible's pages, His Words speak---

that His Grace's sufficiency

can relieve even such as me;

that I am sheltered in His strength,

and in His Hands' security,

safe there for what remains of my life's length.
