A thought to remember


Proverbs 23:7             Proverbs 23:7

New King James Version

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

“Eat and drink!” he says to you,

But his heart is not with you.

 

A thought to remember

 

What about the desires of the heart?

Is our conscience the heart of the matter?

It cannot be what I thought before

For a quickened intuition comes into play

 

The answer may be blowing in the wind

And it surely will fall where it may,

 But it shows that there’s no solution

And that makes for nothing left to say
