240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It

Don't really want to put self through it
And so I'll just let others do it
I'm certain it's too hard for me
Sure others can more easily 

Don't want to put the effort in
Thus, wait for others to begin
Not my responsibility 
So, really don't depend on me

No interest in taking the lead
So, wait for others to proceed
Though help is needed for a task
Don't have the time, so please don't ask

Need someone to sit on committee 
Look anywhere, but don't look at me
I have no interest in the least
Besides, don't have the expertise 

Ever notice when there's work to do
It's often left to just a few
The others somehow must be lead
Or they'll just stand around instead

Perhaps they are a lazy lot 
That might be true, but it might not
For certainly, there's those that shirk
Responsibility and work

For some, it's lack of confidence 
So initiating makes them tense
A fear that they may not succeed
Disables them, so don't proceed 

But there is work God asks of you
The harvest's plenty - workers few
To be a witness to God's truth 
And really, there is no excuse

World needs the Good News desperately 
These times require urgency
And any task God asks of you 
He'll give you what's needed to do

The strength to overcome your fear 
The right words someone needs to hear
Discernment to know what's your part
The willingness within your heart

Share what Christ's love has done for you
Help others to experience it, too
There's no time to let others do it
Your task's at hand, so let's get to it

2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control

Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 

1 Peter 4:10-11
1 Corinthians 15:58
Ephesians 2:10
Matthew 5:16

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...
