Give God the Glory

Hey check this folks cause this I need to say. You see ever since I was born I've been having things my way. So maybe I've been Blessed from the beginning because ever since  I was a kid I've been winning. But I wasn't really thinking about that cause I was too busy pattin myself on the back. I thought I was as good as they come and I wouldn't be out done by anyone.

All you had to do was look and you would see, the way I boast, you know I'm all about me. Like going through life building castles out of sand, whatever the weather they would stand, I could work miracles with my hands. Even through the worst of storms with gale force winds, I wouldn't bip, bop or even bind. through the darkest of nights or if the day was sunny, it made no difference I still made all money.

While every day, with a different girl because in my mind this was my world. Hey I was doing things that people could only dream, but instead of shinning bright, all I had was a gleam. I had accomplished all my goals, but inside of me was a big hole and this hole I was unable to fill, I tried wine, women and even pills, still, that big hole I couldn't seal.

I looked to the sky and asked, Lord why? But nothing I heard not a peep, not a word. While being stuck in my fixation, I had a real revelation. How do you think all this came to be? The sky, the Earth or even the tree, the beasts of the fields, the fish of the sea. And how do you think man came to be? Then I started to wonder, where should I look? I heard the Bible is a great place to start, but first you must open your heart.

So I opened the Book and looked it over, I found He's all Mighty GOD and His Name is JEHOVAH. I found with GOD none of us could win because every since Adam, we were all born into sin. So GOD sent His Son, who died for us all, His name is Lord Jesus and without Him we would all fall. I also found that if you open your heart and let The Lord in, He will guide you to all righteousness and exalt you among all men.

Now that hole has been filled, I can hold my head up and I can chill. You see I found, It's alright to do your do my friend but without The Lord you're just chasing the wind. And It's alright to tell your story... But you got to give GOD The GLORY.
