Speaking Salvation

there's so much that you need to learn, i want to show you how,
i'm glad you understand my views, you can put them to practice now,
i didn't say it would be easy, some days you'll see old patterns rising,
but at least the light of truth has been shown to you, they'll  be no more 
compromising,
do you honestly see where i'm coming from? love can easily turn into infatuation,
do you see how deep your affections can get? it can block your concentration,
the reality of a situation can hide under a rock before your very eyes,
and no matter how hard you'de like to see the truth, the fantacy tells you lies,
i want you to live by my standards, i want to protect your heart,
people react sometimes with unintentional behavior, their views are not very 
smart,
there will always be more to face in your future situations,
but you'll handle them with grace and poise, i give you my sincere dedication,
keep your focus on me, keep me close to your heart, i'm right here by your side,
so when you feel the pressure building up, your mind and your heart won't collide,
this takes practice, but i know you'll succeed, and i know how much you love me,
the grace that i've given you will take you to new heights, and you'll put no one 
else above me,
what the world sees as shameful, your eyes see different, there's beauty in every 
soul,
and they'll see the beauty i instilled in your heart, your smile will never grow old,
you can't run away like you used to, your love grows for me in leaps and bounds,
the relationship you have gained with me over time has placed your feet on solid 
ground,
there will be no more sinking, you'll change each day in your behavior,
even while making mistakes, you new i still loved you, and now i've become your 
lord and savior,
people will see the difference, and now your doing it ultimately for me, 
you don't care as much of what others think of you, you know your heart my eyes 
can see,
if they happen to notice a change, you would give me all the credit,
these words you write upon these pages, i will author and i will edit,
you thank me all the time for this wisdom, on a daily basis,
your writing is not purposed for your recognition, you want everyone to receive me 
and read this.
