See fit to Read it!

Note: If you read any of my entries this should be it because this was not me writing it


I really should be in bed right now because I have to wake up for church tomorrow and I'm always usually tired when I get to church, but God put it on my heart to write a poem tonight, so I chose to make an entry. I went to Jason Upton concerts both Friday and Saturday night. Now it's Sunday early early morning. Anyway they were amazing concerts. He had a lot to speak about Friday night which touched me in many ways. I believe I'll be able to speak to many of my family and friends about God's glory and his existence and I especially want to talk to my father. It was an eye opening experience, he had such insight about life that I've never heard put in such a way before. It's obvious he's an annointed singer/songwriter. And he has an amazing way of expressing words of wisdom from God. He spoke about people not thinking for themselves Saturday night and how a custom people have become to just buying into the media and what the majority speaks of. I related it in my mind to how people drink and party and how when kids first start to take part in it they usually do it based on what others present as being the cool thing to do and so many kids buy into that. It's not likely that teens would go to a party and drink of their own volition, they do it because they don't think for themselves and see others doing it and they care so much about fitting in that they refuse to think for themselves and fall into a common belief that drinking and partying will bring you friends and popularity. Jason related it to politics and how the media constantly pushes the political views on people and people just believe what they see and base all their judgements off of newscasters. It's true, and it's sad the world works that way. But a lot of people fear thinking for themselves because they don't want to feel alone, if they can just conform to beliefs of the majority their mediocrity will be disguised in the midst of a sea of mediocrity. This makes it all the more clear that if people would seek truth instead of just believing false words, people would easily realize their is truth in the word of God. There isn't one principle in the bible that produces evil, man produces evil which is why the world is in the state its in. Because man chooses to ignore the word of God and they build man made empires that fall in instants and are made to collapse and if they don't collapse by another man, than God can use his power to collapse the empire, thus humbling man. I think America needs to be humbled. America needs to come to the realization that we can't be almighty and powerful because we are human, and unless we realize God created us equally to everyone else, our empire will fall in an instant. I assure you unless an enormous revival occurs, unless we realize in America not to be so self centered and quest for wealth and power, then the empire will fall, but maybe thats what America needs, maybe America needs to fall in order for people to realize they must seek God because his word is Truth, and the Truth will set you free. So that's what God put on my heart, in all honesty my fingers have never typed so fast nor did I have any idea of what I was going to write before I wrote this so I don't even know what I just typed but I will read it tomorrow. I just want to put up my poem now and get some sleep so I can be awake during church tomorrow. So here's my newest poem:

See it fit to be Selfless

When I sit and ponder
I question the things I've done wrong
and the things I didn't do right
I try and justify the means
by saying what I mean
wasn't what I meant to do
and the things I do wrong
aren't necessarily what I mean
I often use the excuse
My mistakes are unintentional
And I am not at fault
What happens when I have no one else to blame?
Do I dare take the blame for my own downfall?
But before you become quick to judge me
for not wanting to admit that I'm wrong
Look at yourselves
Your awfully quick to convict
and you'll condemn mortal men
however, when you are in the wrong
you attempt to point out all the ways
in which you believe you are superior
to those that surround you
It's common to not want to blame yourself
and common to deny your shortcomings
which is why you begin to seek out
things that will disguise your mediocrity
You seek others that self satisfy
others that are so heart set
on satisfying themselves
that they have no time to notice your flaws
you conform to a way of thinking
that is so self serving that your
not even thinking for yourself
Because everything else is telling you
"Look out for number 1" and "help yourself"
"love yourself over all else"
In spite of all those worldly words
there are words of wisdom through Jesus
"Love your brother like you love yourself"
and "Love your enemies"
These words save you from being selfish
yet you still see it fitting to fit in
with those who fail to seek God
when you should fail to fit in
because you find it fittng to seek God
When you seek God you don't need approval
from everything around you
because God approves of you
But don't allow me to tell you
that all I care about is fitting into
the kingdom of heaven
I encourage you to discover it for yourself
Find it fitting to find for yourself
that being selfless is what will satisfy you
All because that's what God finds fitting
and fitting in with God is the perfect fit
And how fitting it is that God loves you


I just want to make it clear that this poem is not a direct offense to all who read it, because I am by no means saying that everyone tries to fit in and everyone blames other people for their shortcomings. However, I myself know that I have blamed others for when I screw up, I'm sure many of us have, but the reason for the use of you's is because this does speak directly to the reader, I wanted it to be a reminder to myself, that sometimes yeah Jim you blame others and you need to work on sometimes that when you mess up it is your fault and the ending is so beautiful "And how fitting it is that God loves you" because that is speaking to everyone. This holds true for every human even those who believe they are too good for God so they deny his existence. The bottom line of this poem is that to live life you should not live to satisfy your own desires, namely sinful desires, God wants us all to be happy but he wants to be glad in Him. "We will rejoice and be glad in Him" is a worship song I remember singing in church and that is true so long as we choose to accept him, we cannot be glad in him if we denounce him so I encourage those who don't know God to not denounce something they don't know. That is the problem with most people today. They denounce things that they are unfamiliar with or have never experienced. They are so used to what they are comfortable with or what pleases them that they refuse to step out of these worldly boundaries, especially in America. People need to realize that fitting in and blending in with the world is not the number one priority but so many people make it that, they think "As long as I fit in and people like me for doing what they do, at least I'll be accepted" when the truth is you already are accepted. You can be accepted just by being yourself because God accepts you. Anyway that's the message here! God Bless, Good night, Amen!
