Nip It In The Bud Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The key is to guard
your eyes and your mind.

You can not protect
your eyes from
everything that
crosses your path,
but you can make
sure that the thoughts
in your mind don't
get out of control.

The Apostle Paul tells
us to take every
thought captive.

That means an
impure thought
may come in,
but you nip it
in the bud before
it grows out of control.

You do that by
recognizing it is wrong,
asking God to help you,
and then refocusing
your mind on things above.

Nip it in the bud.
