Ok…….I’m going to step OUTSIDE of “poetry” for a minute…..now…calm down…..I’ve done it before, lol….. but my poem previous to this one has a part in it that I would like to “allow it to” STAND ALONE….if not for you, then for me…..so *I* am able to grasp the entire “concept”, if you will!!
The stanza that I’m “pulling out” of ‘More Than Meets the Eye…’ is the third stanza….and it reads as follows:
[Speaking here of my faith, my belief in Christ, in God…]
-
[By admitting I am a Christian…I am NOT saying I am perfect….but I am saying that I am WEAK…]
-
By SEEKING God I am ADMITTING that I CANNOT do this….life…alone! I am weak and NEED His help!!
-
I am in NO WAY saying that my faith/Is ANY better than yours (or your lack of)/I’m just acknowledging that you may look elsewhere for help
-
I NEVER said MY beliefs are “superior” or “better”… I *RESPECT* that you have your beliefs (or that you don’t believe…) and I have mine…
-
[I am not telling you that because of my faith I’m “perfect” and “do not sin”!! Everyone sins…I admittedly sin almost everytime I open my mouth!! :0 (lol)
-
I am telling you…in front of EVERYONE… that it is BECAUSE OF MY FAITH that I am a sinner!!! I believe that Jesus dies on the Cross for my sins… but I ALSO believe that He ‘forgives every transgression’… NO this does NOT give me “permision” to sin…YES, sin is still WRONG…. but I believe if I ask for forgiveness, it shall be given….but NEVER will anyone hear me say I’m “perfect”! (I give my friends PERMISSION to SLAP ME if I EVER say that!!! lol)
-
[I am NOT saying that because I know God life will be some “happy dance”….I am saying] “‘I need a 24hr hour help hotline!!!'”
- I NEED A 365 day/year 24/7 HOUR HELP HOTLINE!!!!! This LAST STATEMENT is what made me want to write this out in the first place…..I saw that and…DAMN…how 100% ACCURATE is THAT?!? I mean, really…..with God in my life, I KNOW I am NEVER alone, but sometimes we can’t help but FEEL alone….but I ALWAYS have to remember that I HAVE GOD and HE HAS ME!!! And God is ALWAYS only a prayer away!!! He doesn’t take vacation days, He doesn’t get holidays off….He can’t call in ‘sick’…..yet He NEVER complains…..He NEVER says ‘NO’!!! He may not answer EVERY prayer we pray for but we MUST REMEMBER…..THAT’S because HE KNOWS WHAT’S BEST!!! If WE got everything we wanted……our lives would be WAY MORE DISASTEROUS than they already are–and *I* say that when I CURRENTLY live in my own personal Hell!!!!!!!!!! ={}
Alrighty then…….I’m all tuckered out from writing now……and my DAMN CAT keeps clawing at the screen door to go out, getting his claws stuck in the damn door {stupid ass cat!!}….. so I’m going to SIGN OFF for now!!! I hope SOMEONE reading this appreciated it……I PRAY that there was NOTHING “offensive” to anyone in here…..everyone who reads my stuff by now should NOW that I am NOT prejudice in the LEASE BIT!!! So…..please feel free to EVER call me on something that I may not have realized was offensive!! ❤
Okay, all…. time for some KITTY STEW!!!! 😛 YuuuuuuuMMMM!!!! lmao!!!! jk!!! ❤ to all!!! and THANX for reading and I can say THNX to my “followers” and be sincere, lol, so THANK YOU!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ hehehehehehe
Much ❤ to All,
