John Donne's Bater My Heart, Three-Personed God

This tale of a man who feels unworthy of God's love is mainly found to wish that someone will stop him from being evil. He has no sense of control over his relationship with God, and though he knows this is one necessary step for faith, it is not enough. In fact, it is an example of the dark side of Faith, a man who regrets his decisions but cannot change them. "Betrothed your enemy;" there is also a sense that he feels that God is too powerful, but as we know, Free Will is an important piece in God's plan. He wants us, maybe, to express our humanity of power so that his own strenght of creation may be seen. Thus the untenability of God.
