Qualified

Reading is for musing

but it’s sometimes quite confusing

when the paragraphs are thick with complication.

So if words cause me to stumble

and my brain begins to grumble,

qualifiers clarify their application.

for = there’s a purpose

if = there’s a condition

and = there’s more

but = there’s a challenge

“If we confess our sins, 

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” ~I John 1:9

“Do not repay evil for evil 

or reviling for reviling, 

but on the contrary, bless, 

for to this you were called, 

that you may obtain a blessing.” ~I Peter 3:9

“If my people 

who are called by my name 

humble themselves, and pray 

and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, 

then I will hear from heaven 

and will forgive their sin 

and heal their land.” ~Chronicles 7:14

Isn't that fun?!
