After Hebrews 3: 1-19
The deceit, the lies,
the untruthfulness
harden as they
happen. They grow
within us, causing
us to turn our heads,
look away, avoid
all mirrors, fell
our hearts harden
and die. We are
expert at deceiving
ourselves; we are
professionals skilled
at hardening our hearts.
But remember that original
confidence, that assurance.
It softens; it lasts.
Hold on to it.
