Before a farmer can sow his seed, <br />it will take many hours of his toil, <br />Removing rocks, stumps, and weeds <br />culivating to make ready the soil, <br />When the land is tilled and prepared <br />as well as it can be, <br />The planted seed will take root and grow <br />into a bountiful field he will see, <br /> <br />Our hearts are like the farmer's land <br />filled with greed, guilt, and pride, <br />We must confess it all to our Lord <br />those things within we hide, <br />This allows the Master to chip away <br />and remove what is sin, <br />Confession prepares the soil of the soul <br />so His fruit will blossom within. <br /> <br /> <br />(Kingskid)<br /><br />Louise Myers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/confession-6/
