The Bible says.....
sometimes I hate that phrase...
The Bible says a lot of things
Some of them make me feel inadquate
Some make be feel like I am not enough
bad
judged
sinful
Ah yes! Sin
Sinner
Some of them give me hope
"what love God has given, that we should be called the Children of God,
AND WE ARE!"
Some inspire me
lift me up!
The problem is that I am
not one
but many
There are many versions of Stephen Paul Kliewer
or at least many parts!
and some of those parts
those persons
I don't like
i would rather banish them
and not allow them to participate
in my life
But there they are
Try as I might I can't deny them
The lost me
the lonely me
The hurting me
the sinful me
The hopeful me
the caring me
The giving me
The distracted unfocused me
my cast of characters
I am not sure if it is a comedy
a tragedy
or an action movie
Maybe all of the above
I just know that I need to pay attention
to this cast of characters
who have a way of their own
and when I have those moments of struggle
I need to look inside
at whom i have neglected
at who inside me is hurting, and crying
I need to love
and forgive
and care for
that part of me
and in that caring
that loving
that forgiving
find healing
and peace
