True to myself.
PrintI've never been one to follow other people like sheep
and I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe and speak
I may not be loved by everyone
but I strive for goodness truth and peace
and fight against injustice
provide a voice for those who cannot speak
protecting the victimized and the weak.
I may have to swim against the tide at times
for what I know is right
I often make mistakes
but my conscience is clear
when I go to bed at night.
Don't judge me if you don't know me
I will not change for anyone but God
There's much more to me than you see
I don't try to be anyone but me
and what God wants me to be.

Some people judge others without knowing them, there's good in everyone, if only people take the time to find out.

This is astutely amazing, STAYING TRUE to onesself is so critical,a prerequisite for becoming GREAT, your words are imbeccable. RESPECT
What a great comment. thank you so much friend, much appreciated. Have a great weekend. take good care. best wishes. Moogie.
An awesome write...built upon the firm
foundation of submitting to the One True
God in Heaven! As a believer in Christ,
this poem is an Anthem...and let me make
A clarification: All those who accept Christ
as their Savior are my Brethren...I Do Not
subscribe to the error of advocating that
he or she is God! We are all His children,
and as such we never bow down into any
form of false worship: 'My brethren, let us
remember our kinsmen: Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego...Hebrews in captivity who
refused to worship an image/idol...They
were put into a fiery furnace, but an Angel
of the Lord protected them! The Book of
Daniel
Hi, Mr.
Speaking of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego...the fire was never about them. They made the choice to not bow down, and rightly so. They said their God would save them, but if not...(strong words of faith), they still wouldn't bow down. The three Hebrews were already saved, So God showed up because He knew that the King was watching, and He took that opportunity to reach the King, who changed his laws, and made all people in his rule to worship the one true God. The three men's stand for God saved a Nation...The depth of obedience those three men gave, is what God expects from us, especially if we want Him to do miraculous things in our lives.
Thank you so much Arenka. So good to hear from you and the bible story. their faith must have been so strong, to think what they must have gone through is so humbling, and Gods holy spirit awsome. As we see in the world today and the state it is in. our faith needs to be stronger than ever. God is the only answer. thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a great weekend. take good care. warm best wishes. Moogie. God bless.
I don't know how to thank you friend. I'm overjoyed by your kind comment and words of wisdom. It is so humbling to know, that Jesus had to suffer so much for us. If only people would realise and appreciate that. God is the only answer, We need him more today, than any other time, The Devil has blinded people, people look in the wrong places for happiness as we know, and end up never being happy.
I agree with you friend, we are Gods children, and despite our diffrences, we should all get on as Brother and sister
So many people in bible times suffered, and stood firm in their belives. today many are persicuted for worshiping God too. Everything predicted in the bible is coming true today. We must stand strong. We need more people like yourself brother.,to spread the word. Thank you so much for reminding me of the book of Daniel. I shall read it again, what they had to go through. take care friend. God bless. best wishes. Moogie.

I don't believe that God judges us and I know he doesn't want us to judge each other.With that being said I've always that God wants us defend and take up for those whom can not take up for their selves.
You come away with nothing from judging..
And a full heart if you choose to be the one who isn't judging but rather sharing Gods love..
Hi, so good to hear from you. I agree with you, who has a right to judge anyone, but as you know people in general do. As for God, it does say God will judge us ulimatly for our acts. thank you so much. Take good care. Moogie.
