Gloating

GLOATING At least I am full. I got a roof over my head. I can go and find relief when I need it. Can you say the same? Of course, not, you don’t know the game. I am not gloating because I am proud of who I am. I am not a show-off by stating where I stand. I will step to the cause to take care of myself. You should do the same when you know you should do better. I paid two hundred dollars for these shoes. The outfit I am wearing was a good bit too. I had my teeth fixed through my insurance. I am thanking the good Lord for all he does. Do you do the same when you are blessed? Of course, not, you think you did all this by yourself. I am gloating about how good God is to me. I want the world to see. When your faith is shown through your glory, Let the world know whose Jehovah. I am double Mastered. I am a rhymester. I am a mental strategist. I am fulfilled. I have walked a treacherous path. The Almighty God was visionary. He spoke at the most precarious times. He told me he was by my side. I know you say I am gloating. Might I do just that? God said spread his will and his way to everybody. _____________________________________| PENNED ON AUGUST 12, 2014!

The things that you delineate in this poem are what make you happy Verlena. What better way to gloat than to show God's intervention, inspiration in your life. Going into this crazy world with a confident and happy smile. I like the swagger of your Faith. J.A.B.

Man is but a fog that disappears when the SON shines. We do things we think great but God knows are less than nothing. Great write my friend.

It is good that you give God the glory. Whatever talents we possess are as a result of His kindness. The trechorous path is to begin to think that all we have has been earned and deserved. Trechory also lies within holding to tightly to these temporary gifts and failing to share them with those less fortunate. Another thought provoking piece.
