Humility

It's not a trait of mine even as I have grown Those close to me hear me whine and moan Though I've failed as against society I speak The One I've hailed told me about being meek Those in need, those who have lost their way Those of greed and those who no longer pray All the lonely, all those Hearts that are broke Jesus has set you free in the Words He Spoke He is the light, He is the One that I follow Giving me sight, teaching me not to be hollow For He always forgave and loved His Children Only Jesus is able to save all women and men So if I become overbearing in matter of tone It's not for lack of caring as you might bemoan In all due sincerity in the urgency of the heart I just want you to be free and I have to do my part

If a child nears a cliff and you must tackle them to save their life, is that too rough. We are who God made us and wants us to be. Know and Feel His Joy in speaking His Name. I often go way out on a limb, and the moment I feel regret in speaking of His Name, He just shows me the view. Plus He keeps the weeds away. Am I worthy, NO! But who is and why aren't they doing it then. It is Right and Just. God Bless!
