Love's Reproof

 

To climb through the crown of constancy the mount of truth

At each step remaining the truth valiant defender

Through fire and water chasing the truth's offender

Deflection from the flame of glory is ghastly crime

To climb through grime to triumphally reach the sublime  

 

Like mules wallowing in the mud of lying

The breath within contaminated and expiring 

As leeches clinging to the savage beast of denying

Dishonors and grievous betrayals are justifying 

Vouching for the storm of mischiefs undying

Adopting fixed, illusive self-complacent emotion

Oblivious as a protozoan to "pure intention" - notion 

 

To rebuke or rebuke not?

 

Is not true as steel love welded

Together with epinician truth?

 

When destiny is facing judgment 

Iniquity grave, obdurate grudge

Cannot justify: "Who am I to judge?"

But reprove and reprove

The enslaved

By the Wicked One

ANOTHER WINNER!

Powerful verse packed with profound insights written in style that stirs up souls! Yah, with no truth, the liars are dying inside & often as you put it because of the image conscious mentality & stupidity! Love the idea of correcting & rebuking the evildoers. Sadly, tolerating evil became almost a virtue in our society. As Christians, we need to correct the ones who are living in serious sins, and are destroying their souls - offending our SAVIOR! When we love we rebuke as you say for love & truth are always welded together. Great imagery! Thank you Dr. and God bless your work. You listen to God well.
