Galatians 6:4
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another.
There have been walls in my relationships within my family/
That honestly I never meant to build/
Things I said then, I wish I never did/
The city I continued to build seemed to grow thick/
I felt like each time I got the point of breaking down the wall/
I would fall and end up building another section/
The biggest wall I built was being untrustworthy/
You may not believe it now but I was liar/
Still can be but I've learned to fight the lying tounge/
What seemed to be little lies grew into big lies/
And it stunk, you could smell my lies surrounded by flies/
One lie piled onto another as I tried to fix it/
Instead of just being honest I did all that I could to forget it/
but I had to remember as question after question came l couldn't slip up/
Trying to remember the stupid story I made up I couldn't mix Em up/
But when it fell apart my life fell apart/
I Fell into bitterness and left my mom with a broken heart/
Lord may it be that never again I should tell a lie even a little lie/
Cause really even the little lies are the same as big lies/
God forgive me please let me prove to them that I really am sorry/
Not just sorry I got caught/
But sorry cause it was wrong/
Allow them to see my broken heart/
I'm taking responsibility for my actions/
Please for give me.
App: send a letter to my parents asking them to forgive me

A Case for Pride.
Galatians 6:3
For if any man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. I found myself Standing before a judge. Being accused for what I thought were minor sins. Anyways, So the case began.
"Joshua Nickolas Koman, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
I responded
" I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God."
"good, we shall begin" the Judge continued.
"will you plead your case?"
I hesitated, and my hands started to shake,And before you could say "Timmy fell down the well" my whole body was shaking like a dog.
"yes your honor."
I stood.
" If you don't mind me asking, what I am being charged for, I would really like to know that first." I slowly sat back down.
"you are being charged with pride." the judge said in a much softer voice then he had been speaking.
"pride? Your honor, please do explain I have the lowest self esteem known to mankind."
"that's the point my child." the judge quickly responded.
"why am I standing before the court of LAW?? I didn't murder anyone, I didn't steal anything!" I frustratedly responded.
"No, but your killing me every time you you make a negative comment about my prize creation, and you steal my joy." he continued. "so in other words yes you are. Your damaging my pride for you."
"Your honor, I don't know what to say"
I humbly responded.
A man on the right side clothed in white stood and said
"don't worry son, your sins our forgiven. Case dismissed."
There was man that stopped me on my way out.
He said "you a child of God and you are greatly loved."
Application: to day I won't even utter the words "I'm not good enough" or "I'm probably not gonna do a good job"

Unworthy
Now of the Jews 5 times recieved I forty stripes save one/
I am an unworthy servant, of God's Son/
I was the reason Jesus Christ shed His blood/
I am unworthy to even be called a servant/
I am reminded of the nails that were hammered into His hands and feet/
I am reminded of the cup of vinegar that He did not drink/
I am reminded of Sulls hill that He climbed/
I am unworthy/
I am reminded of the crown of thorns that dug into His bro/
I am reminded of the wicked mocking crowd/
but they were a slave to their sin only doing their duty/
but I am unworthy/
Then I am reminded of three days later/
I am reminded of my victorious Savior Jesus Christ/
who conquered death and gave me life/
So I could have a hope of being a worthy servant/
I was reminded that I was bought into the family of God/
It wasn't just slave money, it was adoption money/
God in His grace made me worthy/
to not just be a servant but to be called a child of God.

Come and Eat
Come and eat, come and Eat?
Sit down and rest for a second
why rest? I don't need Rest, I'm strong enough
but we need to talk, have a real conversation
Please sit at my table, please accept my invitation
But God, I'm too busy, is this going to be a long conversation?
I'm not very hungry anyways maybe later
My child, my child come and eat
rest at my table you look weary
supper is ready, will you not join Me?
Well I don't know feet and hands are dirty
it's okay my child, I will wash them
Lord, Lord don't wash my feet I am unworthy
HaveI not taken you as you are already
Come sit down I will wash your hands and feet
I am the Bread of life and the living water...
App: today I will spend in extra 30 minuets and tomorrow I will fast spending meal times in the word.

"Looking for Love" - Trip Lee ft. Jr.
All you’ve been searchin’ and lookin’ in all the wrong places
Search no more. love is here.
Hey i had to write this song ‘cause the masses are mistaken
They’ve confused the word love with infatuation
Its sad ‘cause when we lackin love the wrong path is taken
They missing out ‘cause getting true love is past amazing
It’s more than a passing statement, a short lasting craving
It ain’t refusing not to wait, it ain’t mad impatience
Some been tryna find love in that guy or gal they dating
And before long they hormones are fastly raging
Yeah true love is a must, but that ain’t love, it’s lustin’
Love would never ask you to ungodly stuff
Its honest plus, it ain’t wrong and hard to trust
Its everlasting and can’t happen when the heart’s corrupt
Resting on false love you must realized you’ll plummet
‘cause real love is much more than butterflies in ya stomach
Most of us are out of line ‘cause really the bottom line
Is we looking for love but ain’t sure what we tryna find
You tried the pleasures of this world but still there’s something missing
‘cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the wrong places
So search no more ‘cause it’s the life of christ your soul’s been missing
We must learn that love is perfect, it never will fail
I’m ready to tell, its needed and forever prevails
It’s so glorious, i’m sure we need some more its true
The world’s confused and seems to have a distorted view
Most think love’s a sweet kiss, a nice statement in time
But don’t know that love is sacred, its patient and kind
It’s not filled with sinful jealousy, doesn’t brag and boast
It’s priceless and can’t be bought with a stack of dough
It’s so true. it’s not rude. it doesn’t seek its own
It’s selfless, i’m telling this because we need to know
It’s not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs
It forgives, it’s a blessing and forever is strong
It don’t delight in evil but it likes the truth
It’s liberating never fading and it’s righteous too
I’d like for you to put love first in here
It always protects, always trusts, hopes, and perseveres
You tried the pleasures of this world but still there’s something missing
‘cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the wrong places
So search no more ‘cause it’s the life of christ your soul’s been missing
I can’t stress enough the fact that love will never end
It’s eternal better than this other stuff so let it in
Such an unusual experience beyond expression
We need it, we gotta seek it, yeah love is a blessin’
Utter perfection, but something most guys will lack
So the remaining real question’s, “where you find it at?”
I know you wondering if you don’t wanna die and miss love
Seek christ, ‘cause the bible says that god is love
For god so loved the world, he would redeem you and me
Yeah it was love that made him bleed and cling to a tree
That’s the truth, so without the son you losing
He shows love and for that there’s no substitution
We try to fill the void with things of all sorts
But let us stop settling for things that fall short
He can be the lover of our souls turn now to christ
Lookin’ for love? well true love is found in christ
You tried the pleasures of this world but still there’s something missing
‘cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin’ for love in all the wrong places
So search no more, ‘cause it’s the life of christ your soul’s been missing

Rejoice In truth
! Corinthians 13:6
Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
It's been a while, you seem so distant/
we were close friends, but now that seems a little distance /
haven't seen you in church in a long time/
Your Bible is a little dusty, what happened?/
Did we rejoice in iniquity to much/
I know in the past I haven't been the best example of Christ love/
I could have been a closer friend, a brother in Christ/
I could've done things different and given you godly advice/
instead I left you to live your own life/
and now I'm watching you walk further and further away/
we both had one foot in the world and one foot in the word/
and when I had both feet in the word I rejoiced in your iniquity/
afraid that our friendship would crash and I would get hurt/
But now I think back/
at the way we used to act/
one foot in one foot out riding the fence/
never helping you realize what was for your best/
I wish some things were different/
I wish I would have been more of a godly example/
I hope Im not to late to rebuild our friendship.

Unselfish
1 Corinthians 13:5
"Father not my will but thine be done." Jesus cried as He sweat great drops of blood./
Knowing that very soon He would be hung on a cross for us/
Never insisting on his own way/
Oh what love/
Oh what love I can't wrap my mind around/
He stayed on the cross even though He could have easily come down/
Oh what love/
But then I see my self, I see my self in the mirror/
A word written in His blood above me and it couldn't be any clearer/
Selfish, to often I focus on my self/
To often I want it done my way/
Sometimes I am even rude about it/
It's my way or the highway/
Now what kind of love is that/
who am I to even state that/
When Jusus knew that He would be stuck, and skin wouldn't just scrape but be torn off of His back, yet He took the pain/
So Who am I to tell God no I want it my way/
I have no right to, if Jesus is my example that I follow/
God help me put away my selfish desires/
and to followYou and love You with all of my heart!
