How words can shift people
I write what I know
And that isn't a lot
I write what I see
And there's more than enough
It is interesting how I tried to stand
Speaking about how I am human
That I do make mistakes
That I am retaliating towards those who say I am intolerant
It is interesting to see
People not really reading between the lines
To see what I'm trying to say
That I know I'm imperfect
And it goes the same way
God is the truth to me
And it is Him I pledged myself to seek
I did not write about facts
But about things I have known
Things I have heard
COming from deep within my soul
That is bursting to be freed
Like the endless words of truth He has given me
I am not secure yet in my faith
In fact I think I am still a child in many ways
I condemn not the Church or those who are in it
I do not condemn those who are against
I condemn myself for not trying hard enough
But is it my choice to really say what is wrong?
Is it really me that says that what I am doing is right?
No.
It is His.
I am not shoving down dogma down throats of people
I am just believing in my own way
Don't you know?
GOD can not be just one belief system
GOD is not a toy or a person
HE IS GREATER THAN THIS WORLD
HE IS GREATER THAN THE SPIRIT OF DESTRUCTION
Remember the saying
Love the sinner not the sin?
Isn't that what He does?
Isn't that what He asks of us?
To love the forgotten
To heal the broken
To nurture the children
Lost and hurting
Just as He is doing all the time?
Impersonal, so many people say that about Him
That He feels so far away and distant
Maybe it is time for us to look to Him
Not always in times of need
But in times of joy and peace
Maybe it is time for us to praise Him
To get closer to Him
To love Him
As He loves us
That is the message of my stance
That I love my God
And will not turn back
I have walked the road of a sinner
And I still take that path
Now and again
Giving into temptation and sin
Yet I know where I am going
Though it is still a future vague ahead
I have business to do
That I am looking forward too
That as a human I am imperfect
But as a child created long before I was born
By God, my Father in Heaven,
That I am who I am
Because of Him and His influences upon me
Because of His unfailing love
