My Only Concern

I'm not concerned about fortune and fame.
My only concern involves uplifting the Savior's
Name. I'm no longer concerned about book,
Sales. I really have a strong desire to not go,
To hell and for others no matter if they do not,
Treat me well to go there either. To praise the, 
Lord in whatever manner, I'm more than eager.
I must say that I was concerned about fortune,
And fame in the past, but I see many who have,
It and don't have Jesus are truly filled with pity,
And I don't want to be part of that party. I don't
Want to feel sorry for myself and have material
Wealth. There's no business like God's business. 
Stop, look and read Mark 8:36 , "For what shall it.
Profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
And lose his own soul?" Nothing if one gains the,
World and not God in hell he or  she will trod. 
I'm not concerned about silver or gold- I'm 
More concerned with the inner me. For the
Love of money creates a strong bond to the
Power of the enemy. The power of the enemy
Brings total destruction to the soul and that is
His main goal. I want to have what God has for 
Me so I'm choosing to seek first the kingdom
Of Him so that not only I but others win and
That the credit goes solely to Him. I can only
Do great when I eat off of God's plate and
Try my best to pass life's test and Satan detest.
So that I can dig deep into God's grand treasure,
Chest for blessings that are tailored for me and
Not tricks made for me by the enemy. My concern
Is really not fortune and fame, but really truly
Deeply involves the uplifting of the Savior's name.
I know for a fact that  John 12:32 states, "and if I 
Be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all men unto
Me." This action creates tragedy for the enemy.
God's people need no script for this all that 
Is needed is true radical praise and up to the
Next level we will be raised. I've said it once 
And tell you one more time. My concern
Is really not fortune and fame, but really truly
Deeply involves the uplifting of the Savior's name.
