This
week I thought I would share some of my poetry, to get you thinking and
inspired. Watch what you allow to infiltrate your spirit. Protect it all costs!
Be about positivity towards others. Ephesians 4:29 – “Do not let any
unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building
others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
I Can’t Hear You!
Some may ask me what’s the matter
You’re wondering if I can hear
There is nothing wrong with my ears
I just can’t afford to have certain things near
I’ve become allergic to negative things
Whether it’s something small or great
I have to stay away from the contaminates
Before it has a direct impact on my fate
When I hear you talk badly about
Your brother and sister in Christ
It is not benefiting me one bit
Please go find yourself a life
I Can’t Hear You!
When you thrash with your words
The ministry gifts that grace the pulpit
Please refrain from that noise
Stay in your lane, and flow in your ministry gifts
I Can’t Hear You!
When you’ve fallen down
And we’ve pray and tried to help you get up
But you make a conscious decision
To wallow in self pity and stay down in the dumps
I Can’t Hear You!
You see it’s not that I am insensitive
To all that goes on around me
But I’m growing in grace and maturity
And leaving those baby things behind me
Gossiping, Criticism, Negativity
Phoniness, Lies, all seem to run amuck
But to get where God is requiring you to be
You have to be strong and dismiss all that stuff
So the next time someone brings something
Negative, and it’s not edifying me or you
Look at them with a stern look on your face
And tell them---I Can’t Hear You!!!!
