Can I offer a counterpoint, if that is what this is, to Jenny's recent post?

Actually, the pit of what she wrote reminded me of an old saying I have, "Though not necessarily by yourself, you must find God for yourself!" When I study the bible with someone new, who is searching, I insist, right up front, that they take nothing I say to heart...I hope only to guide them to the spots where what they should take to heart lie! And so I've written:

Careful you, who have been told,

that you truly are familiar with the goods you have been sold.

When someone propounds too bold,

it most often has to do with reservations their hearts hold.

Make no mistake, I don’t mean

you should not seek some help in plumbing the depths of things unseen;

but you could land in between

the rock and proverbial hard place that belies answers pristine.

Tho’ by yourself’s not needed,

for yourself could not possibly be oft-enough repeated;

the hope your heart’s entreated,

when found in one’s own way becomes indelibly completed.
