Vanity

VANITY! VANITY! I Shout!!!!!! why do we give it sooo much clout? Of beauty and looks that are fleeting, vanity thats so misleading.. Fashioning ourselves to feed our pride, to impress people who wouldnt care if we died. Vanity hides who we are inside, pride, something we should all set aside. For it was vanity and pride, that got the devil sent for a ride. rocketing from heaven where he once stayed, to a place of fire and brimstone where he now rants and raves. Our body is a temple, this is true. But its our spirit we must keep renewed.
...Proverbs 16:18
"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling "
...James 4:6
"......God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble"
In relationships, why do we always seek for the best looking, instead of the most promising?? I understand we have to have some physical attraction to a person, but we love the person that they are inside.....its that person we are inside that lasts throughout the years after are youth and beauty fade.People spend thousands of dollars to keep themselves looking young....and yet they never seem to find true love, because their eye is on the outside, not on the person within. Divorce rates in our country keep rising....why? becasue of this very reason.....they base their love on feelings of physical attraction.....which fades and alters throughout the years....and then they find that they never loved the person they are with, the sad reality is....they never learn, and they just try to keep their beauty intact , just to find another infatuation, that winds up just like the last....empty. We need to learn to be like our creator, who loves unconditionally.
A war revolves around me,
but its a war I could never see.
I never hear the sounds of clashing swords, guns, bombs or flaming arrows.
There`s no report of it in the daily herald.
A battle between angels and devils,
who fight for my life, to take to their levels. Yet, to me ....things seem serene and calm,
but the battle that wages is hotter than napalm. Who knew the battle was so Intense,
Thinking events happen through random circumstance.
My decisions reflect which way i am facing,
which master am i truly chasing?
This body of mine is filled with sin,
those devils are hopng it s enough to give them a win.
The Holy Spirit guides and protects my spirit in this shell.
Giving me the strength and knowledge to escape going to hell.
A war being waged over my soul. I know Heaven is my ultimate GOAL!!
Who would want to serve a master,
who has to ask God what he can go after?
Satan claims to have power,
but in the presence of God all he can do is cower.
I will do my best to serve God, and reject this body of sin,
because i know i get stronger every time i dont give in!
I do damage to the devil and his minions,
everytime I give God his praise and observe his communions.
What we do in life, echoes in ETERNITY!!!
A battle wages in my mind....
Is it real, or is it just a lie? of life`s complications, and tasks aggravations. not knowing who i can trust, is what i do just? a place of solitude, i try to find. Just so i can clear my mind. Of rumors, whispers and thoughts of dread. personal attacks that wont leave my head. lies, murmurs,and grumblings fill my ears. bringing thoughts of my worst fears. It feels as if my world is crumbling around me. I wonder what it is im called to be.Why am i so blind, that i cant see? why do i feel i am never free. All an attack from an enemy i cant see. Satan who conspires to drag me down, he tricks me to see my life with a frown. From a mirror, i dont like what i see. My biggest enemy can sometimes be me. I am my biggest crutch, please God, I need your touch. A joy, a power, a life so pure, that healing hand that will give me the cure. To overcome the enemy , that i see...that enemy thats sometimes me..
I know the secret to overcome, why sometimes i dont act...i must be dumb. Who wants to live in misery? So lord, I pray...set me free, show me the man you want me to be. In your word, i will learn, so at the end of my life i wont burn. I want to put the hurt on the devil, for all the times he kept me unlevel, so as I pray I will kneel, knowing that it will crush his skull and only bruise my heel
Why do I carry this pain?
It`s time I stepped over into a new lane.
It is my emotions, I must tame.
Yes, This experience was a hard lesson.
But, I`ve asked forgiveness, I`ve made my confession.
God has given me peace, he has given me recession.
I dont need to carry others burdens, others stress.
Mine are enough, and thru Jesus I will find rest.
Trusting in him, will bring me success.
I now know, Im not responsible for her.
She refused the life, that would give her the cure.
A life that is lovingly pure!
No longer will I act out in my sin.
With Christ, I know I can overcome, I know I can win.
Learning to exercise my faith, I`ll continue to grow in him.
God lovingly pieced my heart back together.
No longer will I let sin, cause a bether.
Renewed, I know many storms i can weather.
So, when times get tough, I know to kneel.
Thru prayer, God`s love I can feel.
A love thats unconditional, a love thats real.
Your Love is unmeasurable, it comes with no bill.
Your peace is calm and still.
Keep me focused Lord, on doing your will.
I dont need to worry, on what my future might be.
The desires of my heart, only you can see.
I know you`ll provide the right mate for me.
A relationship full of warmth and care.
Our hopes and fears we openly share.
All in vain, for something no longer there.
Why did it come to this, i wonder?
Gossip and lies, that rumbled like thunder.
Deceit and rumors, that tore us asunder.
I remember when I sang you our song.
People getting involved,who did so much wrong.
Sticking their noses, where it didnt belong.
Giving their opinions, making their assumptions
Dividing us, with their corruptions.
Ultimately, leading to our destruction.
We weren`t what each other needed.
How could we both be so mistreated?
We both look at the hurt, and how we were defeated.
Mistakes we both made, that should not be.
I wasnt the Christian man, I wanted you to see.
I feel you will miss Heaven, all because of me.
How I fell, to every trap that was laid.
Going off feelings and emotions, that quickly fade.
How I wish, these memories I could trade.
This time in my life.
Where I thought you could be my wife.
But, looking back all I can see is strife.
These memories, that are now haunting.
Of feelings, im still wanting
My sin, the devil is now flaunting.
Attacking me, with his oppression.
Keeping me, in a state of depression.
Oh Lord, how I need recession.....
When we met, my heart skipped a beat.
A new chapter in my life, oh how sweet!
Every moment with you, was an overwhelming treat.
Our dreams reflecting of what could be.
Of a life, with just you and me.
Is it for real? Time would make us see.
Our hearts fluttered, with our daily affection.
What chemistry we had, that gave us a strong connection.
but, our love was far from perfection.
When we cuddled, it was pure bliss
But, nothing could compare for when we kissed.
I thought everything was great, but things started to twist.
Our summer days, and winter nights.
Were soon, nothing but constant fights.
What is going on? what has brought on these plights?
What has happened? To know the truth is a must!
A relationship, that was suppose to be built on trust.
Or was our love, just actually lust?
You accuse me of things, things I did not do.
Demanding answers, of which I have no clue?
You walk away, and say we are thru...
Everything we had, I now fear
Is leaving, with each of my passing tears
I stand alone, with you no longer here.
You shattered my heart, beyond repair.
I did nothing wrong, this isnt fair.
I wonder, did you ever care?
The pain, I can no longer take.
I ponder, was our relationship fake?
I hope its just a nightmare, I pray I soon wake.
But reality sets, as time slips by.
Of a life together, we no longer try.
Every now and then, I reflect on why?
A relationship we should not have had.
A relationship that now manifested bad.
A relationship that made me into a callous cad.
I turned from my first love, as you corrupted me.
My love for God, why did I flee?
Forgive me Lord, I did not see....
