Wherever It Comes From

I don't know what I want to write
But I believe anything I write would be
what God wanted
You want to bet?
Let's see now
I will write about whatever you want to write
Do you just write whatever you want to write
or you write whenever it is in you
God puts it in you?
I 'd like to think that I just write whatever
I darn well pleased 
But it is not the case
If it is not in me
I can't write it
What is it?
Other calls it muse
Some call it inspiration
attention, source, seed, germ
Whatever you call it
It is from one source
and that is -God
Ahh you give too much credit to Him already
You'd better
Anything you said and do is from the One person
And that is Him
You cannot do anything if He does not want you 
to do
You cannot say anything if He does not want you 
to say it
So what is left?
Do I have control over anything I say and do?
Nope
You are for the taking
He has you
And He is going to do whatever according to 
His master plan
Do you think you have a different idea?
The next time you want to do something
see if you can do it
That is to tempt God
I wouldn't want to be in your shoes
But that is enough already
Why don't people want to believe
that anything they said and do 
is what God wants them to say and do?
Pride
They think they have superior ideas
They think they can do all things 
and not suffer consequences
God will have you learned
Either from Him 
or from your mistakes
Whatever you choose it
It will be done for you
Just like the prodigal son
who had learned from his mistakes
We too must learn from our mistakes
But that doesn't mean that God doesn't do it
cause it
When will we ever learn?
Ok, what do you want to write?
