So I often get frustrated when I look around and see people (including myself) doing nothing. I also get really frustrated when I see pain and there are people like me sitting around and doing nothing about it. I want to change that, and I know how to. It is something I am working on. (Although sadly, right now I am in this waiting period where God is showing me all this amazing stuff and teaching me and changing me and if I went out to change the world right now I would get shot down) But still I am very antsy so I wrote this. This is how I feel right now and once I am out of school I can do something about these feelings, which makes me very excited. Anywho read poem below.
Pain and Suffering
Fear and Sorrow
Hold me back
Can't see past tomorrow
Hope and Peace
Meant Nothing to me
Love and Joy
Was something I couldn't see
Fear and Hate
Dominate this world
There's nothing pure
Except in His Word
Grace is the only thing that pushes me on
Love and joy are things I must learn
It's time for the church to do something more
It's time for war
Evil rules the world everywhere I go
Even in the church it's got a tight hold
Why aren't we fighting the evil in this world
And bringing glory to the one that we serve?
Why don't we care about the things that really count?
Instead we tend to sit around and doubt
In the power of God and the extent that he cares
Then we wonder why we don't see him answer our prayers
It's because evil is blinding our eyes
Binding our hearts and weakening our lives
It's time to fight back and fight suffering
And bring grace and hope to those who are hurting
There are people lost and dying
And Christians are falling far and hard
Why isn't God first in our lives?
Why is all this evil so easy to disregard?
We can't just sit back
And let stuff happen
We've got to stand and fight
We've got to do something different
Our lives need to change
We need to stop and pray
We need to fight
And spread God's light to those around us everyday
We've said things are going to change
We've promised to do things in a different way
But we haven't changed the way that we live
We haven't done anything different; we don't even know how to forgive
We need to follow God no matter what he asks
We need to be willing to risk everything we have
We need to let God take complete control of our lives
Before we can fight
With his power we can fight this evil
We fight to bring him the glory that he deserves
With God we have the power to move mountains
With God we have the power to change the world
So yeah. I know this sounds cheesy, but let's go change the world. We are Christians, we are designed to bring God glory. We aren't bringing God glory by sitting around on our butts doing absolutely nothing but going to church on Sunday(please excuse me for being blunt). We gotta do something; we gotta fight for God. So when God says go we gotta go no matter how much it hurts or what he is asking you to risk. (Trust me, I learned that from experience, that is why I am about 2,000 miles away from my favorite place in the world, my friends, family, my home, that is why I am so far away from where I want to be. God told me I had to leave and go so I did.) We gotta do something more then what we are doing now. God has given us power and resources so lets use them.
Ps I apologize for my fail at consistently blogging. I have no creative excuses that you haven't heard before,so I am just going to say, I am sorry, but I don't think it will change anytime soon.
peace out,
zoe
