THE REALITY OF MY LIFE
God's been doing some amazing work in my life simply because I've been seeking Him more and memorizing scripture. And I think the reason why I feel so overwhelmed is because I keep asking for God to humble my life. Through my insecurities, stress, and the simple fact that February is the most depressing month of the year (at least in my mind); I have been overcome by this gnawing feeling of overwhelmed responsibility to do more. Although it is good to not be lazy I forget I'm sick and need to rest. I forget about reality. I forget to trust God. I forget the fact that I need God every second of every day. Why? Because without God life is miserable!
I wrote this a few years ago and thought I'd share with you another spoken word (poetry). Why? Because I so easily forget about reality and this is truly reality!
Remember dear reader, God is good, all the time!
~REALITY~
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
That
life is sometimes just hard.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
When
life gets hard you sometimes just want to give up.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
“What
if” keeps playing in your head like a record, “What if my life continues to be
hard” never stops playing.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
“What
is this world about? What am I living my life for?” This, my friends, becomes
daily questions when life calamities strike.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
I’m
lonely, every day and every hour. I think, deep down, you’re lonely too. Deep
down you’re lonely, trying to fill your loneliness with things, things that
will make you “happy.” Things such as food, money, technology, cars, sinful
desires, substance abuse, even people. What if those things were taken from
you, your loves of this world? Until I find contentment in my life, until I am
content in Jesus Christ will my loneliness then be filled. The same is said for
you, find contentment in Jesus Christ and he will satisfy you.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
I
am very blessed, you are very blessed, we are very blessed.
The
reality is, the truth is, the fact is…
There
is a time for everything; a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to be born, and a
time to die. All of this is for the glory of God!
Because,
reality is, truth is, fact is, we all need God. Without him we lack everything,
let us glorify His name!
Truth
is there is a time for everything.
Some
people die young while some people die old, that is reality.
Truth
is, life is hard.
Some
people find their cup half full while others half empty.
Who
are you?
Who
has God created you to be?
Whether
you have 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 years, or 50 more years to live,
What
are you living your seconds, minutes, hours, and years for?
Who
are you living them for?
What
is your purpose in life?
Can
you answer that?
Because,
reality is, truth is, fact is, we all are searching for something, for a deeper
purpose in our lives. When calamities fall before us we look for reality, we
look for truths, we look for facts that point us to that deeper meaning and
purpose in life.
Reality
is…
Truth
is…
Fact
is…
God
is real and He created you for something beautiful.
Reality
is, everyone fears death,
Why?
Heaven
is beautiful, but Hell is utter misery.
Reality
is, everyone hates pain,
Mankind
strives for happiness.
Reality
is, everyone wants to be happy,
But
most aren’t.
Truth
is, everyone needs someone,
All
humans need hugs.
Truth
is, everyone longs for love,
Fact
is, without God life is miserable.
Reality
is, truth is, fact is…
God’s
love is real.
God’s
word is truth.
Jesus’
death and resurrection are a fact.
Reality
is, truth is, fact is…
Life
is hard and God is good!
