Not What I Created You to be.
The Lord sets me straight on what He created me to be.35 total reviews
Comment from Brett Matthew West
And He will keep you on the straight and narrow too. Being what He made us to be, not what we think we want us to be, will bring the peace our life is supposed to have. This well written poem contains an important message and reminds of the saying "Cast your vote for Jesus. Keep your eyes on Calvary". Well done.

Thank you, Brett, that is a good reminder. Actually I wrote the poem after wrestling with a decision on an adult son who has been giving me grief. In the end, I had to back away from him and let God take over. Then, I had a huge sense of peace. Allowing him to be dependent and abusive was not allowing either of us to be what God intended us to be. Thank you for the comments,
Rhonda

Well Done, I always applaud when they realise God made us just to be exactly as they are and no different, however, we can be open to the beating of our hearts, and the beat of God's heart also, the real purpose of our lives is to reveal God's love in Christ to a love hungry world, well done with this one, just a little out of time in places, but it's substance has such value, well done, aabb rhyming with proximates, blessings Roy.

Thank you for the wonderful 6 stars, my friend. Also, it would be helpful to me to know where I am out of time, because I am trying to learn, and would love to fix it. Notice I tried one on my own! I like the idea about the deeper purpose, and the idea passed through my mind when writing, but it didn't make its way in. I will relook at it, thanks again,
Rhonda

I don't really like to rewrite, I have no desire to hurt, a musical background helps me, also knowing weak and strong sounds, it improves with time, but you are improving dramatically, working with Fez has helped, see what we can work out, before you post let me look, blessings, Roy.

Thank you so much, though I have already posted, I can still change it. Thanks, and the only talent I have in music, is listening!!!

You say you want to be a painter, but you can make a masterpiece just fine. I loved your poem. I loved how easily to reader glides from line to line. I love that you wrote about a common question "why am I here". I thoroughly enjoyed your work. Fantastic job

Thank you so much, my friend, what a wonderful gift of 6 stars and what I supportive review. I just had the poem on my heart all day, and that doesn't usually happen to me as I am more of a prose writer. I appreciate your honest and lovely review,
Rhonda

Davisr: Great and touching entry! I like the not what you aren't but what I made you to be. I think that this fits for me too. I like to walk dogs and pray. My brother and I both garden. I like to take photos and write stories. I've been asking God to help me with what do you want me to do? Jesus helps and inspires me to write as He is helping you too with your gifts. We got the Great Grace on our side! flylikeaneagle

I like this. I like how you share your faith while also showing your love of life. I loved the imagery such as building a house. This was a very creative and well written poem.
