Teach Me How to LOVE

I asked God to teach me to love his people

To rejoice with Truth and NEVER delight in evil

To always trust, to hope

knowing that He will always protect me.

With his unconditional love...unlike others

He would never neglect me

To be patient...kind...and to help me persevere

To be the last to speak and be the first to hear.

To be content with what I have and NEVER boast

because if it wasnt for Him...my blessings would be toast

To keep no records of wrong

when thats how they do me

To not be easily angered by strangers

or to behave rudely

To never envy when someone has what Im desiring

To never seek self ...and if so....retire me

Love never fails

with everything I stated above...

but I also gain NOTHING

if I have not LOVE

The Christian Struggle

Its hard being transparent

and its also hard to call HIM

but how can someone help you

if they dont even know you've fallen?

So now we're staying quiet

like a dog covered with a muzzle

and we wonder why something's missing

like the PEACE without the puzzle

So aint no talkin to our friends

about our problems and our struggles

Because if they knew our weaknesses

then they may no longer love us

We have a problem with our friends

but we always say "We're cool"

So we tell them that we're praying for them

well....atleast we say we do.....

We're not focused on our FAM in CHRIST

and you know thats a no-no

One Body....Many Members

So why we claim we runnin solo??

That's why we're so low

we don't love each other no mo'

We supposed to be on the same team but we not

"no HOMO"

I aint talkin' sexual

let's talk about sex ya know?

the late night texts...leading to late night sex

leads to....well....

Im movin on to the next ya....

My family actin' crazy

so its hard to stay encouraged

I mean I love my fam ......

but they're not as blessed as yours!

I know I shouldn't compare

I'm not hating on your blessings

but I can't sleep at night because I wonder

when will he ever bless me?!

Its easy to say we trust God

and not trust HIM to know whats best

we all want a testimony

but don't want to study for the test

We say "Let go and Let God"....let him do the rest

SO ITS ABOUT THAT TIME THAT WE WALK WHAT WE PROFESS
