Freedom after all

1 Timothy 6:6 New King James Version (NKJV)Now godliness with contentment is great gain. Freedom

 

Contentment is great gain ... but surely a half-truth?

Is it just a state of mind ... that simply gets you by?

Is not of such selfish is made ... from bottom to the roof

and turns your life into habits ... so you don’t even try?

 

As long as things go your way ... there’s really no problem

even if your status quo in moving up and down.

The need that feeds your greed as your pride is solvent

makes it all acceptable ... as you are moving on.

 

Freedom is much more than having nothing left to loose.

Maybe its conditions are ... having nothing left to gain.

Maybe after all of it ... you should not have to choose.

Maybe it appears as good as the ground after the rain.
