Thanks.so very much, I must admit, there were times I ignored that little voice, but it only brought heartache. However after being born again, they disappeared. And lol, I've never had that kind of dream about anyone except my husband, but put it in there for a little humor. Thanks for your lovey review and your kind comments regarding my mostly fictional poem w a message of listening to our conscience!

LOL! My pleasure.
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
I think our conscience is actually the Holy Spirit helping us maneuver through this world. Or perhaps our own "Guardian Angel" assigned to us to keep us on the right track. Without that "no, no, no, no, no", whispering in our mind's ear, we can assume our "Guardian Angel" has given up. Without a conscience, a Guardian Angel, we are doomed.
It looks like yours has helped you out on several occasions.

Thank you so much Gary, as yes the Holy Spirit is a great friend and convicts me when needed, because He loves me. Just as our Father in Heaven and Jesus, our Savior does. I love how you mention a Guardian Angel, as some think we each have at least three of those, and yet it says in
Psalm 91: "for He orders His Angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you with their hands, as they support you and keep you from striking your foot on a stone."
They are not as highly ranked as the Holy Trio, but oh how wonderful that God has given us so much protection in fighting temptation! It makes me want to be a better person while I have such love given to me.
But I'm not sure when you read my poem, but this morning I wrote in my author's notes that this was indeed mostly fictional based on the Truth of temptation. I tell this because I was not always that good girl that listened to my Holy Spirit instructing the conscience. Yes, I heard the little voice inside saying that I know this is wrong, but I did not always listen. And I still fight temptation, but give it all to God now. ..........Lol, Also, I never had that naughty dream about anyone but my husband. Thats the loveliness of writing, cause it doesn't have to always be truthful, as our creative imaginations can take us anywhere. : )

Wonderful response. I love it when someone will respond to one of my replies with comments that say something.
And your Psalm 91 quote is always there available to me, right there in my own Bible, but it is so nice to read someone else reciting it and reminding me of the excellent protection I have surrounding me every day.
Have a blessed day.

Thank you KL. I wanted to get a message out there without it being so serious. That's why I added that little risqué part at the end, to add some humor as well. After this contest is done, I would like to become a fan, so it reminds me to read more of yours and other people who have been so great in reviewing mine. Yet I have to wait until it ends later today.
Lol, that little voice has been telling me yes yes yes about doing more more more of that. Thanks for the great review my friend, as I truly appreciate it
Comment from leather
Lots of repeats and examples of temptation struggles. Seems like we need a lot of reminders to keep on the straight and narrow. This is a fine poem, and I wish you the best with it.

Comment from Jennifer Keeley
This was very creative. I wasn't sure how a poem would begin or end with a thought of temptation. This was fun to read and made me smile. I also liked how each stanza had a story. Good job with this!

Comment from LisaMay
You've described that little pinprick voice of conscience very well in the different situations in your well-crafted poem, through growing-up years. Your ethics are strong, being able to hear that voice and obey it... even when it eventually has to shout at you.

Thank you so much LisaMay! You are very kind, and I truly appreciate your lovely review and comments. My ethics are strong, but the flesh is weak like everyone else. It isn't always easy to listen to that voice, and times in my life that I not only ignored, but said no to it. However I am thankful for God who accepts us back with two little steps. I ask him daily to let me be a blessing to everyone that I am in contact with that day, so he led me here. His love truly shows, as I am the one being blessed by you and so many other friends that I have met here. So thank you again my friend, and I love it here so much that it almost feels sinful! : )
Comment from R56Ma3
THE TRUTH. What a great message this one has and it's saying resist temptation, and we sure do get tempted to do something we know is wrong. Excellent job and I wish you the best in the contest. R56ma3:Susan C.
