Vanity

Here is a poem I wrote after watching a stupid tabloid show. I should not have watched it.. I know better. So, here ya go Lindsay L and Mel Gibson.  And all the other people, Hollywood or not, who think they are above the law or more importantly living without one thought about what God thinks, Romans 10:3-For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God..  We all get self absorbed at times. We all sin, we all make mistakes. Romans 3:23-For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God .I thank God that through his mercy there is forgivness and a fresh start for those who seek him.Titus 3:5 --Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...Sin comes with consequences, Proverbs 13:15... But the way of the trangressor is hard and Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. However, we can obtain mercy and strength through God if we ask.  Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I am glad that God offers us an out to our sin our pride and vanity. He's put it in his word and we can get victory over it through prayer and submission to his word. Even for Linsday and Mel G. I know it's something that I am praying about for myself  in my life. I need more submission to God's word and less worrying about what others think about me, if I do.  All that matters is what God thinks about me, so if THAT is vanity too, so be it. I want to hear "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" someday.



Vanity

Why can' t you see,
It's all about me?
There is nothing in life
more important than me.

I see my beauty and need
constant praise.
All that I do
is on constant display.


If you reach out to me,
I am too busy to see.
The things that you need,
They won't concern me.


My life is just this -
It's for all to see.
There is nothing more important
Than my vanity.
