Analysis of I UNDERSTAND
I UNDERSTAND...
You were raised with very different values then the person next to you, and you are constantly taught in this world to ACCEPT OTHERS, yet your heart already knows evil is about you.
I UNDERSTAND...
You are your own person and will believe only that which you see proper to your own being. Blindly fighting the wrong, using scripture to quell the constant rise if stench.
I UNDERSTAND...
You see MANY languages that convey NOTHING to you when you hear them, except the hatred, anger, kindness, or respect. In these, you respond, walking away from the bad as there's no way to make any sense of those.
I UNDERSTAND...
You are pointed out now 'many' religions of the world. Only one, led by the wisdom of scripture will find the proper path. Mind wise, most hold little if any value to the way you perceive as proper...
I UNDERSTAND...
You see the world as sliding into a dark abyss, and never to be whole again. That it will never be 'the way it was'... once. It was never meant to stop or go back. All things have to have their actions too all towards the future in heaven.
I UNDERSTAND...
You believe with every fiber in your body that your view is the proper course... If they would just listen... But they don't.
I UNDERSTAND...
You see those you hold close changing in ways you don't like and are angry that they don't see it yet, constantly try to sway you into their good time.
I UNDERSTAND...
You see others getting a better slice of life, richer, acceptance, believed, listened to... yet not you...
I UNDERSTAND...
You think if you don't raise up, you will be left behind. And if you don't speak-up your beliefs louder then all of them, then nothing will change...
I UNDERSTAND...
You do know me... In your heart. I have always stood beside you, when you were screaming at the top of your lungs... to be heard... I listened quietly
I UNDERSTAND...
You didn't see me... pulling you out of the way of the changes that can't be stopped by your single voice. As the misguided course... could never be changed.
I UNDERSTAND...
You now see of the Christ in me. When you understand the world is going the way it is meant to go, and you realize you have but to steer your own path in this life.
I UNDERSTAND...
In accepting Christ, you will one day throw your hands up and deny you even want to be a part of the constant chaos around you on all sides, always trying to do the good things meant.
I UNDERSTAND...
You will one day just give up on changing everything... And on that day, it will all change... you will sit back and see. The miracle
I UNDERSTAND
You have now fully opened your eyes to who I am... you're given an understanding vision of the world and becomes clear as to the true plan that is unfolding all about you.
I UNDERSTAND...
You now see, 'am that I am', has stood beside you the whole time and have this massive swirling ball of confusion... well in hand.
I UNDERSTAND...
You now have something other than the misery you saw back there; you have a new peace about you... you have something that wasn't there before.
YOU UNDERSTAND...
[ Have a good day because I'll be here helping you face all those things together. Always.]
IN CHRIST WE RISE
IN GOD WE TRUST
