What?


Isaiah 1:2-3 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Wickedness of Judah

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s crib;
But Israel does not know,
My people do not consider.”

 

What is Grace if not forgiving? What is love if not for others?

What is Life if not forgiving in sharing to be a good brother?

 

What is a gift without value? What is a palace without love?

What is purpose without caring if not empowered from above?

 

What is a tear if not salty? What is a smile if not content?

What is empathy if not reaching to help one out in full consent?

 

Give me what I want to get and lots of stuff and a fancy bed

Little to do with lots of servants like lots of air caught in a net
