This I Am

Can you be controlled by the Holy Spirit?
Yeah
If that is what God wants you to do
Obey and abide by Him
Can you not be controlled by the Holy Spirit?
Yeah if that is what God granted you
If everything is so controlled by God
then why are things going out of control?
Because He allows it
He allows anything and everything goes
according to His wishes
But everything stays under His control
He is like the umbrella
shielding you from the wind
Do you need an umbrella?
Do you need God?
It's all the same question
If the answer is you do
then stay underneath the Umbrella
It's good for you
Keep you dry and focused
Your mind is not on the wind
and you are not getting wet
It's hard to focus that way
Do you always need an umbrella?
Do you always need God?
He is there when He needs us
He is there when we need Him
Is He always there?
Does the sun always shine?
Then why sometimes it's cloudy
and sometimes it's dark?
It's the same question
Sometimes things cover our hearing
And blind our vision
But God always shine
and will always be there for you, us, me, the whole world
It's a matter of priorities
What priority does He have in your life?
If He is your number one priority
you will find that things are clearer
and you have less things covered His ways
and He can get to you
If He is not your number one priority
you will find that things are clouding His ways
and block your vision of Him
Take the blinder off
Put things out of His way
And make the path straight for Him
Let your route to Him be a straight shot
Then you don't have to navigate around
The sun, the wind, the umbrella
All are made by Him
for Him
And through Him
If the next time you get hot
You can thank Him for the wind
If the sun doesn't shine in your corner
You know why - too much blinders
If you are always dry
You can know that too
Safe and sound under the mighty Umbrella
Who is The Sun?
Who is the Wind?
Who is the this I Am?
