to GOD be the GLORY
~ If Our Right Eye Offends ~
By Deborah Ann
If our right eye offends,
then why do we keep looking
if it’s not to desire things of the world
then why are they still so alluring?
If our right eye offends,
then why do we look with the left one
if it’s not to regard the lusts of the world
then why is it not focusing on the Son?
If the right eye offends,
then why do we seek what’s morally wrong
if it’s not to be conformed to the world
then why after it do we still long?
If our right eye offends,
then why do we not look the other way
if it’s not to seek the world’s riches
then why to them do we still sway?
If our right eye offends,
then why does it roam all about
if it sees things so alluring and deceitful . . .
then why don’t we just pluck it out!
~~~~~~~~
“And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things
entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.
“And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that
one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should
be cast into hell.â€
