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
