Who Would Care to Listen Anyway?
i'm finished croaking, "i am here! i am here! i am here!" If the Lord wants me to show myself or let myself be heard, i will do so in His time and according to His plan. And if i'm going to be Christlike, then i can't give people what i think they deserve. My poetic desires are waning because perhaps i feed a need to let go of all illusions. i'm not qualified to instruct anybody with my words or verses. Who would care to listen anyway? They have singled me out because i am single. Forgive them, Lord. Jesus aims to transforms lives. Could i ever be worthy of such a task? It's been difficult transforming my own life. Jesus has written His works in my heart. i don't have to prove that or convince anyone of the validity of that statement. i cannot transform a life or save a life, only YAH can do that.
i need to abstain from all appearance of evil. i not only need to be right, but i also need to appear right as much as possible. If i leave vengeance to the Lord, He will deal with those who aim to hurt me or who raise their tongues against me in judgement. i should be at peace with all people, whether or not they are of peace with me. That's their decision. YAH will deal with them accordingly. That's the heritage of those of us who are followers of the Lord. What righteousness i have comes through Him. Still, i have to confess to God that i would love to dump coals of fire on top of some heads around here.
i will no longer obey any person if it comes to disobeying my Abba Father. And yet i am to submit to every ordinance of man. i think the Lord would want me to in order to avoid any unnecessary grief from others. i trust Him only. i trust Jesus. Look what He did for us! Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake whether to the king as supreme. --[1 Peter 2:13]
