A Man Of God Took A Fall…

I knew of a man of God who took a fall.

It seemed to happen, when

he faced “a wall.”

A wall of stubbornness and pride set in.

Before he knew it, he was caught up in sin.

Rather than accept the blame,

he chose others.

He’d often get angry at his

sister and brother.

He chose to ignore what scripture has to say.

He allowed unforgiveness cloud up his day.

“Others must be to blame for choices he made.”

To anger and bitterness, he became a “slave.”

Not knowing the freedom that

Christ has given…

He became a bitter man alone

and unforgiven.

“How could this happen?” 

Was a question asked.

How could this once man of God

spiritually last?

Please don’t let bitterness

reign in your heart.

Don’t allow the peace and love

of Christ to depart.

Being a man of God requires

love and victory…

In being the kind of person

God wants us to be!
