Analysis of Seek God First in All Things!



Please do not love the things you see
Or pictures in your mind.
All lust and envy may be free,
But will cost you, in time!

Don't let pride cause a mental cloud,
That image can mislead.
Our Lord once said do not be proud.
My words you must now heed!

We must be humble and we must
Have Christian love for all.
In Jesus, we should place our trust
Or we will surely fall.
