Spoken Prayer // The Exchange of Evil for Good
This poem is a reminder that to become the greatest good, we must draw towards God. If we do nothing, we will not do the greater good, we will fall short. It is through the Holy Spirit, a personal connection with God that we have the ability to best deliver the greatest good that we can express and become, and when this happens, when we intentionally follow after God, our thoughts of sin and death fade away.
Also to note, that being close to God, means imitating His character. Some think that there is not a hell, or that there is no evil or no devil, it really does not matter. People say those things sometimes because they want to follow their ego, or sinful nature, or what have you, it does not matter. If you want an excuse to do anything you want, than what you are saying is that you do not want to be like God. It is that simple. If you want to be like God, like Christ, than you will live in a way, which aligns with that, and we have enough knowledge through the Bible to know what is good, and what God’s character is like. Consider this: Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (Philippians 4:8) If you are living your life according to that, than I can tell you, you will not chase after the things of this world, and you will not want the things that are considered evil. That is what this prayer, reminder is saying. If you truly are, trying to imitate God, than you will not desire nor want the things that are not of God. That is the simple truth.
