Sex, drugs, alcohol – been there…

Lied, cheated, stole – done that…

After all that life wasted, I’m back!

Sex was a cheap thrill, drugs were a quick kill,

Alcohol gave a false sense of I can, I am, I will.

In telling lies you may trick the flesh,

But you burden your spirit and place yourself under arrest.

Cheating does the same, so who do you think you’re fooling?

Fooling only yourself that’s who – will your excuse be valid at The Ruling?

Stealing, false ownership, think it’s yours for the taking?

Just as quick as it came it’ll be gone, so was it worth all the fronting and the faking?

Do you really know who you are and what you have?

Really???

I thought I did too – growing up in church with a fervently praying Spirit-filled momma,

But entering into teen years I met spirits: deception and rebellion – lights, camera, action—Drama!!!

Starts off simple, “feels” fun and exciting, you may even see it as living life,

But oh beloved no! You’re only stirring up unnecessary strife.

You’ll find yourself lost, you’re up then down; going in circles, you’ve lost control,

Avoid “the life” and stand firm on Truth to reach your God-driven goal.
