Rambling of a Faith Poet

Sometimes it is hard to know what to write or when to write when you have just about every thought possible flowing through your head. I wonder, "Should I please the public with how "poetic" I am or should I please You? I know what the answer is but at times I'm worried about being liked or whether people get me. Is my belief in Your Son too far above their heads or will they get it? Should I even worry about public opinion? Of course I know as a follower of Christ, sharing my testimony and telling them about the Lord is what I'm supposed to do. On the other hand, have I become to preachy and dull? Am I shoving my beliefs down their throats? Then I realize, didn't Jesus make himself of no reputation? Everybody thought that He was weird, blasphemous and not qualified to tell them anything when it came to how they were living. I'm only here to do what He wants me to do, nothing more, nothing less. If I do my part, the right people will hear it, love it and appreciate it. All I should do, is write the word and leave all my "rambling worries" to Him.
