Intro: This poem is the next poem in a series of poems I have entitled "Bad Wrap" I say a lot of spiritual things in this poem about God. Some people may not agree and that is okay. My definition of truth may be different than yours. This is written more for my own benifit and if anyone gets something out of this other than a poem that speaks from the heart that is great. If you have questions feel free to ask them. The following are 3 scriptures reveal more of what this poem will speak about.
:"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead whoever wants to become great among you must become your servant and whoever wants to be first must be your slave." Matthew 20:27
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force withdrew again to a mountain by himself
John 6:15b
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors as though God were making his appeal through us 1Corinthians 5:20a
Sometimes I think I have life all figured out
when I don''t really know what I''m talking about
If I go out and kill my conscience man
it goes to prove that I don''t understand
Yes I want to be happy and I want to have fun
does it give me the right to go out and get drunk
there are lessons I can learn only through hard times
by leaving my selfish ambition behind.
God chose the imperfect creatures like us
to show that his love is all powerful
For everyone of us that his love redeems
it proves that another can be set free
Why does God put so much trust in us
by telling us the secret plans of his heart?
He wants children that will truly love
he does not want mindless automatoms
This is for all of those who question his word
God chose the foolish things of the world
he gave his word to mortal man
we teach it to others so they''ll understand
we then introduce them to our father God
and then he by his word changes their heart
This is for those who are just like me
fighting and clawing to be set free
It is only by our struggles that we will learn
the strait road we travel will bad charecter turn
By crying out to God and searching for the truth
then God will send your brothers (sisters) to you
to teach you by study so that you will see
he reveals the path that will set us free.
The road is not easy because by default
I want to chose a path that''s not so difficult
Doing right is not natural
I often make mistakes I must apologize for
So the next time you read a poem that''s like this
and the person inside you starts to resist
know that this is supposed to be
and that life is full of choices if you want to be free
Let everyone be convinced in his own heart
about the view and the purpose of God and his word
but don''t be surprised if you find yourself
pondering the actions of those who've chosen him.
This was not written to try to convert
only to enlighten those who search
there''s a road that we will not understand
unless we are walking upon that path
even among christains some miss this point
We must die to self and that is a choice
I am the least who should show this unto you
there is not much differance between me and you
I make mistakes and i trip and fall
through my hard times I sometimes miss God''s call
When a brother or a sister comes up to me
and speaks from wisdom to give me what I need
It''s only when I''m calm and I take a look back
that I can see God helping me back to the right path.

Oh Archie I absolutly love this write,
reading this makes me feel I am not alone in my thinking.
Getting rid of ones self image is so hard to do and to focus on God.... but it is our choice
God is Loving and He gives us that choice,
thankyou for submitting!!!
5 stars from me.
