Prompt:
Two brothers born, with hearts entwined,
Cain and Abel, of different kind,
Their offerings made, to God above,
Revealed their hearts, and earned His love.
Abel's gift, a lamb so pure,
Accepted by God, with favor sure,
A heart of faith, a sacrifice,
A pleasing aroma, to the skies.
But Cain's gift, of fruits and grain,
Was not received, with the same refrain,
His heart was filled, with jealousy,
As God looked on, with scrutiny.
In anger hot, Cain's heart did burn,
He slew his brother, in a wicked turn,
His hands were stained, with crimson red,
As Abel's blood, cried from the dead.
God's judgment fell, upon Cain's head,
A mark upon him, He did shed,
A warning sign, for all to see,
Of consequences, of sin's decree.
Cain wandered far, in fear and shame,
A restless soul, with none to blame,
Yet God's grace, still reached for him,
A promise made, in midst so grim.
In Genesis, a story told,
Of sibling rivalry, dark and bold,
Of jealousy's destructive course,
And sin's relentless, damning force.
So let us learn, from Cain's dark plight,
To guard our hearts, with godly light,
To offer God, our best and true,
And walk in love, with faith anew.
