Anyone who’s done any writing anywhere knows that plagiarism is a serious offence.
Atheists beware!
“All good things and every perfect gift is from above. Coming down to us from the Creator of heavenly lights in whom there is no changing or shifting like shadows.”
I’ve written a couple times how the atheist Hugo would like me to avoid giving glory and praise and honour to God and instead proclaim pride and self-sufficiency in the advancements that have come into my life.
Well, if I didn’t want to be guilty of plagiarism, I suppose I could follow the atheist’s advice. But that would be wrong. Wouldn’t it?
In reality, I am not the Author of my life. I am not the Master of my fate. I am not the Captain of my soul. I am not self-sufficient and neither is any other human being. Taking credit for God’s gifts to me, be they challenging or easy, is the same as plagiarism.
That is why I give credit where credit is due - to God the Father and to my Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ to whom all glory and honour and worship belong.

Invictus
ReplyDeleteby William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
