I'd like to think that I'm artistic :-D Here is a poem I wrote that I think is the best poem I've ever written. It depicts an aspect of my life I'm still working on. As I seek to overcome in this respect, I remember Luke 9:23, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." (NIV)
Conceited Me
The Me inside.
The Me that I try to decipher.
But that is not all there is to Me.
There is the Me You want me to be.
The Me you have a plan for,
The Me you want to use.
I often wonder about this Me.
When will it be revealed to me?
When will it be discovered?
When will Your grand plan unfold?
Do I think too much of this ME?
The ME I hope for You to reveal to me?
Dreams of this Me being Gods gift to man,
As if Jesus had not already done that----Is that!
Dreams of being someone important in Your Kingdom.
Am I following in the footsteps of James and John,
Wanting to be at Your right and left?
Lord forgive me.
Have You already shown me Your plan
And Ive rejected it as it is not to my liking?
Am I doing something wrong by demanding
that You tell me Your will for My life?
Am I ignoring Your still voice showing me the way?
Is it I who hinders the communication?
Is it the me who is scared and afraid?
Or is it the me who is proud and weak?
The me who knows everything yet nothing.
Is it me, me, me or me?
Could it be that I focus too much on me?
Unable to hear and see You reaching out to me through the needs of others.
Could You be speaking to me right now as I focus on Me?
