Hype

hype by Michelle Morris 08/12/2022 don't believe your own hype you were built up from the ground no matter how rich or famous you'll always end up down because no one lasts forever we are mortal and we are frail all we have is our legacy and how much good we created history is never perfect so many stories are creative, not true feelings will always fluctuate as people perceive the news money and power might buy you honeyed words that drip with false praise the media might love or hate you but it's all part of a ratings game so, don't believe your own hype all that counts in the end is your soul is it pure and filled with good works or did you sell it for fame and gold? we live in a fickle world little minds that seem like big names so often the truth is left behind and egos rent labels that claim ultimately you live and you die there's no getting around that one don't believe your hype; stay humble and leave love and light behind © Michelle Morris, 2022

Amen, Michelle what is it to gain the world and lose your soul in the process, our soul will be all that moves on and that appears to be least thing many worry about, I hear many say Jesus died for all sins and the world, this He did for those which seek, to send His spirit to break the bondage of sin from which we all abide in individual , if not Jesus came in vain, if we could be good in our own works then Jesus need not come.

Life is a challenge for most people. And, sadly, people are losing their souls to superficial and commercial ways. Let's hope we all become better soon. Blessings.
