Accursed

AAs we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! ~ Galatians 1:9  NASB

I seemed to be able to snap back the next morning better than most of my fellow drinkers, who were cursed (or perhaps blessed) with a great deal of morning-after nausea. (Alcoholics Anonymous, "The Doctor's Nightmare")

God as I understand God

loves.  Period.

So, to be accursed?

Invoking supernatural power

to inflict harm, punishment?

God is god, in control,

has no need to call on himself

or his underlings to punish, harm.

Be afflicted with?

That one makes sense. I surely can

and do

curse myself, cause me misery,

agony, separation

from God, from all.

I need the right message,

the one from both Big Books

as my guide.

And when I stray and feel accursed,

it's a blessing, beckoning.

God, let me not curse myself

but always seek your love,

your blessings.
