The Fool.
These are overflow from my spirit, not scripture, so take from it what you will:
He is a fool who says, "I wish to be better,"
but runs from correction.
Misguided is he who says, "I wish to change,"
but expects to give nothing up.
And no wiser is the man who says, "I want humility,"
but is too stubborn to not be proud,
and too proud to not be stubborn.
Turn from your simplemindedness, and learn,
and experience life in wisdom.
Embrace correction and seek it,
and become who you hope to be.
Embrace humility and sacrifice,
and become rich in the Spirit.
Let go of your fleshly and worldly desires,
turn and seek eternal things,
and find the desires of your heart.
I am The Fool.
