Why I Write

I write for just one reason and it’s not for fortune or fame I write to send a message I write for God in Jesus’ name I don’t seek approval and I don’t seek any praise I want to please only one By the end of my days I’ve been blocked and banned I find the truth when I search I’ve been teased and made fun of I know my God without any church I know that Jesus loves me He has forgiveness in his heart He is our savior and protector and he’ll keep our world from falling apart.

Hi dear Mark, I love, "Why I Write" mainly because you "...write in Jesus' name... ." and not for fame. I also wrote a poem with that title. You're inspiring, frank, addressing situations worth addressing.

Late KUdOs Mark. But then you said don't care about comments! I do...it connects me with others. I am not the philosopher queen handing out what life means and that's enough? I am a human being, I like love, sharing and giving. Of myself..I am a zero. Pangie xx

"I know my God without any church". Indeed Jesus is to be known personally, no intercessor needed.
