Blessed three way relationship


		Please don't tempt me,
		For I wish to please you,
		But I also wish to please God -
		But your beauties and your ways
		Are overcoming my self-control -
		Do you realise
		How strongly you are breaking my resolution?
		Have you ever thought upon it?
		Please do,
		For I am so weak
		When it comes to denying you;
		Love and respect me in my struggles
		And please keep an eye on your actions
		And your inferentially suggestive body language,
		And help our love 
		Be without temptations before their time,
		And I will try to do the same.

Relationships can be hugely blessing, but they can also be dangerous. Adam and Eve begin it all: God created man and woman for each other, but the love between can sometimes seem (falsely) more important than love for God. Thus came our fall - for one of a partnership can decide to do something sinful, and although the other may be in a more right-mind, they may well wish to please the other; and thus they may end up with a knowledge that can be so painful and detrimental to a relationship with God.
It can take quite a journey to get that far sometimes, but again, sometimes not - do you really wish to rick taking the first step? Just cos it's fun and feels good?
