Teenage post about how I don’t know who u am or what I want or where I’m going….
surrounded by family, friends, church, school, society, full of people who are fake. Pretending to be something they’re not, pretending to like something they don’t, and trying to fit into this ‘ideal’ that there just not. People pretend to care when they don’t, pretend to be interested when there not, pretend to love when they just don’t? Is it fair to say it’s just all a complete lie or it can be explained or what, because i just can’t understand it. If I don’t love you, I wont tell you I do. If I don’t care, then I won’t pretend to. If you don’t like me, don’t pretend you do, just to make you look good in-front of visitors, or just because you’re in a position of leadership which makes you feel obliged to care, just don’t do it, stop this whole act. Just because you’re related to me, you don’t have to pretend you care, all it does it make me resent you more because of this act. If a guy is worth loosing other relationships for, then go for it, but be real about it, i just can’t deal with fake. Be real, and be yourself, and do what you want to do. Listen to divine guidance and he’ll help you with the struggles around people and relationships you need to work on, he promises to help us, but he never tells us to be fake.

Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves ‘em both
We’re all cast-aways in need of rope
Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions I’ve seen
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every chorus of the song
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
Leading mice and men down to their fates
But some will courageously escape
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
While walkin’ that line back home
So much more to life than we’ve been told
It’s full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
Go down into the river and let it run
Wash away all the things you’ve done
Forgiveness alright
Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul
And I’ve got no place left go
‘Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin’ on
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I’m free to love once and for all
And even when I fall I’ll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levees and my bluffs
Let the flood wash me
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
‘Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the Son of God is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we’re the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon
Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand this, all by and by

What does he command?
Only the two things that require every part of us, our heart, mind and soul.
‘And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ and to love one another as he commanded us.’ 1John3v23
But the best bit, it’s attached to an incredible blessing,
‘Those who obey his commands live in him and he in them’ 1John3v24
O Lord all we want is more of you in our lives, to change our hearts and our lives. Best part is you promise we can have that in you, the author and perfecter of our faith, we invite you in!
