They Just Don't Understand


People assume and just don't understand why and who I am and why I do what I do. They don't understand why I don't sing a song, but instead I examine the verses and take the message in. They will only judge and won't atleast try to understand me. They will never understand, so I will give no explanation; no reason. There is only one that I will cry out to and will always understand and will listen as I struggle under this weighty burden that continues to crush me within. As I continue to be pressed from each side and constantly being crushed from the inside, it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. My heart continues to break under this weight. The tears will continue to fall down my face. Why won't this stop? before I do something I regret to end this all. As I'm sitting here pondering my thoughts, I begin to realize that I can't bear this on my own, no matter what I think. I begin to realize that it doesn't matter if they just don't understand, but coming to the realization that I need rest for my soul; I need someone to take this burden off of me. That someone that I need is only Jesus. For his yoke is easy and his burden is light and He will give me rest for my soul. (Matthew 11:28) To Him belong the glory forever and ever! Amen!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!
