Influence

Hebrews 13:5 

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.

For He, Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

Influence

 

Who is it ... who triggers thoughts?

Who is it ... who evaluates?

Who is it ... who nurtures greed?

Who is it ... who carves my slate?

 

Who is it ... who moves me into depression?

Who is it ... who can’t leave me alone?

Who is it ... who manipulates emotions?

Who is it ... who makes me a clone?

 

Who is it ... who ages me?

Who is it ... who wrinkles my flesh?

Who is it ... who gave me tears of pity?

Who is it ... who makes me guess?

 

Who is it ... who justifies my envy?

Who is it ... who says anger is O.K.?

Who is it ... who enjoys my indifference?

Who is it ... who cheats me every day?

 

Who is it ... who brags on my being?

Who is it ... who leads me astray?

Who is it ... who gives me my darkness?

Who is it ... who trades me away?

 

Is it me ... multiple personalities?

Is it me ... a will deformed?

Is it me ... a deprived fatality?

Is it me ... in sin adorned?
