An Example

Matthew 12:33
- "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit."
 
     The decisions I make are crucial. They define who I am for they are all that people see. A person may only know me based on the choices I make and the behavior I embrace. Being a follower of The Lord means I must be and example. My choices must be wise, my decisions must be just, and my behavior must be respectable. However, I can not be wise, just, or respectable without asking God for each. It is only He that can make me a worthy example and it is I who must be willing to be one. Though being an example is indeed of importance it is of greater importance to remember I am no better than any other. I am only being an example for The Lord so others may too see my joy and happiness from God and in return choose to be an example as well. If the followers of God do not act like followers then what will make non followers want to change? It should not only be our job but our passion to lead others to Christ. For with out Christ people will fall, and who are we to keep them from the bridge?

I Forgot

I forgot to remember,
that you know better,
   and it's I who must trust in you.
I'm deaf to what I hear,
And I'm far from the near,
   But it's you who will show what is true.
I do not see,
what is shown to me,
   But you help me from being blind.
You pick up the groun',
So I can't fall down,
   And to me you are so kind.
I'm cold when it's warm,
As my heart is torn,
   For I hate to make you sad.
For I succeed at failing,
As I continue sinning,
   Yet you never seem to get mad.
I shouldn't have,
What you gave,
   And yet you still made it mine.
You are so great,
There's no debate,
   And your love is truly divine.

He Will Always Be There

"One step at a time," He said to me.
"Steady and slow," He said is the key.
"Take my hand," He then explained.
"And follow my way," He proclaimed.
"I'll keep you safe," He comfortably said.
"Just follow the path that I have led."
I questioned with fear,
"What if you are not near?"
He laughed and replied, "I will always be here."

When it is Time

"So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you." Luke 11:9

- I feel so lost at times. I ask for help, I seek guidance, and I knock at His door. I don't hear an answer, I don't see my path and the door seems to be locked. Yet then I remember God knows better. I will be given when it is time to receive, I will fine when it is time to be found, and I will enter when it is time to come in.
