Struggling
Thought I would post a poem I just read and liked (you might like it too...or you might not!)
Struggling CHRISTIAN
by Arlene D. Edlin
The world is full of us... We posses conscious minds of our actions and surrounding Conscious minds of our desire to have the Lord live in our hearts and Our hearts in the Lord We make ungodly decisions for personal gratification, Then justify them by any means necessary Ignoring HIS rules, avoiding HIS path Totally oblivious of what lies in the aftermath Yet, it goes on These evil deeds intensify, as we become separated from our GOD. Aware of our sinful endeavors, we struggle to make it valid. But, temptation is our constant enemy Our inner fear, our senseless greed, our desire to be excepted Allows us to forget what and WHO is important. The judgment from others weigh on us every day of our lives So our yearn to be a part of... overpowers our yearn to live for... Prayers have become almost extinct, Spiritual aspire have become distant. Our lives are full of heartache, disappointment and pain, Coupled with the inability to cope We become strung-out on material possessions Lacking the soul connection to our GOD Preparing ourselves for eternal disaster Headed back to enslavement, We the slave, Satan our master Jehovah-GOD should be our only concern While we must love and respect others, Their perception of us should bear no weight Living for GOD we must do now, Tomorrow may be too late! We all know what GOD expects and what is right Toiling with the fact, that, we live as Christians by day, And Hypocrites by night
