who was unpopular
when you were just 4
and you did something wrong
same as you did before
and the person that scolds you
and says you were wrong
and teaches that lesson
so that you don’t belong
in a hospital bed
with no fingers attached! (all the moms of the world say amen)
who is that person
the one that is matched
with the same person who
defends right from the wrong
the one in the uniform
so that you don’t belong
behind the cold bars
that prevent you from doing
what you would like
steadfastly pursuing
you that you would learn
and never repeat
the lessons she taught you
standing in 4 year old feet
when your mom taught a lesson
you’d feel shame right away
and shame lead to hate
and anger dismay
so far from the love
you should really feel
oh human nature sin
that’s shockingly real
so then from the hate
when you grow to adult
you then 2020
feel love and no fault
that you mother did try
to teach right from wrong
you humbly say, “sorry”
a loving new song
but back to the moment
of shameful retort
you’re saying you hate her
and you are so short
inside and out
you detest learning lessons
hate being told wrong
you don’t see the blessings
and this is nature
that will always belong
inside of us all
taught right from the wrong
what’s furthermore
as we grow to adult
we don’t grow out of shame
as a result
as we adults know
we are bigger and badder
and the sin is much more
outcome much sadder
so I am telling you
as a mother to all
that this situation we are in
is worse than the fall
the screaming and shouting
and hissy fits now
are worse than the boo boo
look at your knee after all
there is no blood,
there’s just a scrap on your skin
but your whaling and screaming
are from fear deep within
so get up and shake off
the clouds of your shame
and get up and stand up
and remember GOD’s NAME
The person who teaches lessons, or calls you out when you are doing wrong is the worst person in the world. Until you take some time – if you can – and retrospectively and constructively criticize yourself and see that what they were saying was right. You live in shame, shame leads to anger ‘n anger leads to hate.
This is the path of the weak minded. If you are strong willed – the person who stood up when others were being bullied – you can look at criticism in the face and say wow, I can see your perspective and adapt my skills to improve and be better. You can see past your ego and see how it is a great step toward mastering response, action and character.
I was the person who always stood up when someone was being bullied. I explained with controlled voice and action, the err of the ways and the consequences that would follow if the action was repeated. I have always stood up for myself, after being abused by someone or watching someone being abused themselves. Fear plays a different role in my life. It ignites me to action.
There are some people who are designed to watch with eyes that only see entertainment as someone is being bullied. There are others that actually bully. Lastly, there are those that a the recipient of the bullying. Who are you? Where do you stand? The answer to those questions equals your response to fear-drenched information.
Those that will stand up and take action are the ones that will search through the muck to find the truth and stand on it. The ones that bullied will see the fear in others and push for more. The ones that watched in entertainment will enjoy the fear and crave more visuals. And the ones that were bullied will run in fear and hide in a corner.
The frustration in all of this is the lack of people who will stand and fight back. The pawns of the world will beg others to fight back. Step back and say, someone else will do it. Someone else stronger than me will say “NO.” They wait and are begging for redemption.
I can say truthfully to all of you. You can do something. You can pray. You can ask for forgiveness and act on your knees. I can PROMISE you one thing. What is happening right now is bigger than all of us. It is bigger than you can ever imagine. No human can heal this from a to z. Whatever your perspective, whomever you are pointing fingers at. It is not political. It is not physical illness. It is Godlessness and a lack of falling to our knees and telling God – I am sorry. I will change and YOUR will be done.
I am so tired of my own self-fulfilling prayers. I am guilty of repeating them day after day. I am tired of self-perpetuating this request of “I need and I want”. I am ready to submit to the Lord and say, Your will be done. Not mine.
I am glad that I play for the winning team. I am thankful that my God Glasses see life in Christ as joy, peace and grace. I am glad that this is the story I can write and tell. Please join me and ask God for forgiveness for selfish prayers, and commit to – Your will be done. In all things and forevermore.
His 2020 vision is greater, stronger and clearer than any one person on earth. Trust and obey, for there is no other way to live this life. Healing comes from prayer, and repentance. Amen.
Just perfect. Reblogging. 🙂
