A man has three distinct faculties. It is a task to maintain balance in totality. The body houses the soul. and the spirit that never grows old. Bread only satiates the body. The mind and heart may be fixed on somebody. These two comprise the soul. Restless still, the spirit man is seeking control. You could engage in activities, that challenge your mental faculties. You could be one of the blessed few, surrounded by happiness and love too. But have you been feeding your spirit? It won't eat meat and rice or millet. It constantly yearns for the Creator. In the silence of your heart, it will show you the right path. The spirit is always willing, to do all the right/good things. But, the flesh is weak. Constant attention it seeks. Between knowledge and feelings, the soul... is always trying to gain control. The balance between these three, reminds me of the Holy Trinity. Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights. Denying the flesh, He tamed it right. That's what fasting does; it doesn't change the mind of God! It teaches you to resist the flesh and look to the Lord. When you stop looking at the physical realm, don't let those negative thoughts overwhelm. Then tame those emotions too. Don't let your person be a wild zoo. Let the spirit take over. It has better composure. On the Word of God, it feeds. Each and every one is a potent seed. -RUELHA www.ruelha.com (Inspired by Matthew 4:4) Featured pic credit:gardenofpraise.com © Copyright Protected. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED



It is my desire to study the four gospels. Writing poems helps me put some thought into it thereby making it fun to learn and remember. I was stuck on the book of Matthew for years and never really completed more than the first five chapters until I began writing ‘the Matthew Series‘. Now, I’m revising the contents of the book of Mathew by writing another series of poems titled ‘Inspired by Matthew‘. This one will not be as comprehensive as the Matthew Series and may not be in an orderly sequence. This particular poem is the fourth in the series. I hope you enjoy reading each piece as much as I did writing them.
I can relate to your encounter studying the word.its fun and inspiring

SMiles ‘Man’ Cannot
Live on Bread Alone’
That’s Why God
Creates Mothers
Before Man For
True Babies Born
In Mother’s Womb
Then Sprinkled
With Male Dust
SMiLes Now i’m
Sure Where ever
‘He’ Goes He Will
Take You
With
‘Him’
This is
How Love
Grows Flying
From Nest Now
Spreading Love’s
Wings Do See Essence
Of these Words Now
Born
In My
Mother’s
Eyes Love Mine
Now Yours too
Still Breathing
A Mother’s

I love this! A great explanation of the three-fold nature of man. I once taught a Bible study that got stuck between Matthew Chapter 5 and Matthew Chapter 10 for two years.
