GUIDES & LIES: Self-Deception!

I met Truth!
I met Lie!
One was Old and Decrepit!
One was Pretty and Fly!

I Thought to Myself:

"Old is Outmoded!
Pretty must be Power!"

Sooo ...

I Ditched The Old Broom
AND
I Started Playing with Fire!

"Come On!
That Makes No Sense!
How are YOU Equating Fire and an Old Broom?!

I Will Explain!
I will Tell You
How I was Mushroomed!

The Old Broom -  God's Truth
Swept The Cobwebbed Corners Right Clean!
It knew The Corners of This Old House, and
It Keep The Whole
Honest Pure Clean and Serene!

I Lived To The Standard!
I Walked In The Way!
I had No Thoughts of Worry
Not of Sin, and
Definitely not Decay!

I Should Have Been Satisfied!

But ... NO!

The Hip Salesman Came Out
Selling New Better Modern and Real Fresh!
His Banter was Appealing
AND
His Demonstration Delish!

His Recommendations were Abundant!
Glowingly Spectacular The Prose
AND
Before I Knew What Had Hit Me
I had The Big Liar Ring in My Little Nose!

For a While Things Were Okay!
Not Spectacular!
Not Grand!
Just Comfortable 
UNTIL
Small
Deceits
Started
Filling Up My Barn!

I Pushed Them Into Corners
Dark,  Dusty -  Even Dank
AND 
I Walked About All Pious
Yet Smelling ... Like The Goat -
Rank Rank!

At First, The Aroma was Mild!
Then ... The Smell Lifted It's Head!
Then ... The Stench of Self-Deception 
Raised
His Rotten-to-the-Core 
Dead Head!

I Tried -  VAINLY -  to Ignore The Flies
Until The Vultures Did Descend
And That Is When ... In Desperation
I Called on The Savior of All Men:

Oh,  Master!  

Dear Master!

I've Acted The Fool

And now, For My Efforts

I am like a Plump Chicken

Waiting to be Food

For The Buzzards and The Rats! 

Father, I am as Carrion

Even Manure for The Open Field!

Lord Jesus, I Am Sorry!

Please, Help Me 

for

Satan is My Very Soul Trying to Steal!

*******

Dear Child,  

I AM Here For You!

You Called Me - You Are Blessed!

Your Confession and Repentance

Removes You from

The Unholy Mess!

I Forgive You

AND 

I Receive You -

Know That The World Will Not!

Fear Not!

I AM With You Always 

AND

The Mark In My Book Against You Is

NOUGHT!

*******

Jesus Offers Eternal Salvation By and By!

Satan Offers Earthly Bounty and Cute Buys!

Jesus Guides!

Satan Lies!

Jesus Advocates!

Satan Incriminates!

NEVER 

SECOND GUESS GOD

NOR

HIS WORD OF TRUTH!!
