Does Tim serve Satan,
		and Lucifer's plan?
			Tim's grudges are sent
			as vile urges dent
				Satan's  anger drudge
				shoves lustful thought sludge.
		Evil's laugh helps mold
		As Tim's mind grabs hold 
			of unworthiness
			inside self distress,
				Imaginings lame
				dwelling on shame
		Stuffing conscience' call
		means Tim will soon fall.
			Wallowing in lust,
			unable to trust.
				anger feeds self Pity, 
				resentment's harsh fee
		When we dwell on guilt 
		Though His blood was spilt,
			we do not accept
			the tears that Christ wept
				in pain on bowed knee
				in Gethsemane.
		When guilt's prickling warns.
		to keep us from harm
			it need not overwelm
			but give us God's realm,
				Harken to His voice. 
				Heed the righteous choice.
		Progressing forward,
		steps reaching upward,
			the Holy Spirit
			gives help to submit.
				Peace from Diety
				gives serenity.

  

		Faith needs nurturing
		On one's knees praying.
			Fertile seeds Tim sows
			if Christ he follows.
				Tending the green sprout
				lets God make it stout.
		If Christ he accepts.
		faith grows with each step.
			No more the victim
			the spirit warms Tim.
				The Savior gives aid.
				The harsh dept was paid.
		Gifts, past understanding.
		Blessings spiritual sing.
			Seek diligently,
			waiting patiently,
				Give friends charity.
				Share serenity.
		Can Tim's heart worship,
		forgive, the cup sip
			His spirit's sweet strain
			Remembers Christ's pain,
				with a smiling face
				to trust the Lord's grace,
		Is Tim new, different
		trusting penitent?
			New strengths through meekness
			guard Tim from weakness.
				to make the right choice,
				SUBMIT, then rejoice.
