A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING I THINK
A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING I THINK
As human beings=I think we are ALL just
A little bit CONFUSING
We mean well=we SAY things perfectly=
But our actions sometimes BELIE
What we just said
This APPIES to all of us=and I THINK
The GREAT Saint Paul=said it BEST
“For I do not do
The GOOD I want
But do the evil
I do NOT WANT” Romans 7:19
YES=as human beings=we are NOT
Made simply=our WORDS and actions are
SOMETINES in direct opposition
We are CONFUSING=we are COMPLEX PEOPLE=
Yet MANY of us are STILL GOOD
All of us MESS UP
In this life=from time
To time=and it is NOT ON PURPOSE
It is NOT only about
Our morality=but it is about
OUR RELATIONSHIP with God and Jesus
OUR FAITH is about DOING
The RIGHT THING=but sometimes
We do the WRONG thing
AGAIN and again
Paul is PAINFULLY HONEST=knowing that
LOVING Jesus has NOT STOPPED him
From MESSING UP
I BELIEVE most of us are TRYING=
WE=are just people=and
WONDERFULLY COMPLEX
We just NEED to be HONEST
With God=and HONEST with ourselves-and
ASK ourselves the tough questions
“But they NEED NOT-
Account for the money
Entrusted to them
Because they are HONEST
In their dealings” 2 KINGS 22:7
“TEACHING you to be HONEST
And speak the truth
So that you bring BACK
Truthful reports
To those you SERVE?” Proverbs 22:21
YES-we are BASICALLY
GOOD human beings-
We WANT to do the right things
But we do NOT always
Do so-as Paul says
But KEEP trying to do good
FOR ALL=and we will be
And LIVE in a right relationship
With Jesus
“TASTE and see
That the Lord is GOOD
BLESSED is the ONE
Who takes REFUGE in him” Psalm 34:8
Yes=LIKE PAUL said=we do
NOT ALWAYS do
The GOOD that we want to do
We are just a little-bit-CONFUSING-
I think=and WONDERFULLY MADE
And COMPLEX by the Lord OUR GOD
In the name of Jesus OUR LORD=and
HIS MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
