Self Will (Pixiku)

When I come to the end
Of my self will run amuck,
I find God's will to be more enjoyable.

    This is so true. I often find myself wondering why things are not going as well as I think they should, and then remember that it’s not my will. Hmmmmm……….. Does that mean I am not in His good graces? Great write!

    it is not always easier.....but it is the right way. I came to a place, where the tick of heavy sedation kept me from beng able to say it still hurt, and wished for endings. I am so grateful now that it did not and that my faith did not depend on me.
    Well done!

    Thought provoking

    I didn't realize what self righteousness was until I realized Jesus didn't forgive until person repented. Jesus didn't say go and sin as before...Jesus said go and sin no more. If a person doesn't repent there is nothing to forgive in that person's eyes. That's where turning your cheek to go comes in handy or else the unrepentant soul will just keep slapping you back and forth. I don't know why this made me think of this but it did from the time when I was abused and my Christianity was used against me that if I was a Christian I'd forgive. Why? Jesus required repentance and so should we. Acts 2:38 and John 8:7 - 11.

    Isn't thta the truth? But we are so stubborn most of the time and fail to see the real truth that is always set before us. Nicely composed. Best wishes in the contest~vickie j
