Topic: Example (07/25/13)
Is your light shining for everyone to see?
Does it need polishing or buffing for it to be?
Are you considerate to other of their possible needs?
Do you concern yourself enough to make it a good deed?

I ask myself if I am doing all I can,
I look around and see I am doing more than Sam.
I try not to sit and gloat because I know more than Sue,
Why if she knew have as much as me she’d be alright too.

My friend across the aisle just isn’t doing very well,
He missed two Sundays in a row, why he really must of fell.
He never reads his Sunday school lesson,
Why I bet he stayed home or even went fishing, I’m guessing.

Gert is having a hard time with her husband.
Everyone has an answer for her from them.
“Why you have to live a better life that than you have, Gert,
That’s what’s wrong with dear old Bert.”

The Pastor stands in the pulpit each week,
With another sermon for the weak
Why he can’t’ be talking to me,
There’s so many more that needs it you see.

The above is an example of what not to be.
You find some of these in among the rest you see.
But if you have your eyes on the Lord above,
Then what happens here below will be overshadowed by Gods amazing Love.

I enjoyed this fun, yet serious poem. I saw a typo many make. To the ear it can sound like must of, but should be must've or must have. Overall, you did a nice job of showing the topic with a reverse example. I'm sure we all can relate from time to time.

Yes, and even though we know this, we need to keep examining ourselves,

Satan like to deceive us into thinking we are better than others because we are trusting his grace. If we rely completely on God's grace to take care of all the "little things" we know we choose to do that are sin, grace becomes disgraceful to God.

The other way is to look at all those individuals who do more than we do (like Paul says to do) and try to emulate them.
