if popularity were my goal...i wouldn't bother

[bringsmehome]

i've sought the popular applause...at times my motivations have been all too clear
i'm willing to try on something new.

don't get me wrong, i'm not talking about mere human optimism...and i'm done with tradition.
with living like i'm the only one who's got things worked out. some things can't just be learned in schools
or handed down from generations, or worked at until achieved...this is much bigger. this is divine.

"only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God."

this is a message of hope...of a new life. not of striving to have the best system of rules
the world has ever seen...or going crazy to try and please this God who has laid out the perfect formula of
doe's and don'ts, that if followed flawlessly will create a life of meaning and happiness.

this is being real with ourselves...accepting the fact that we're not perfect and we don't have it all worked out.
Realize their is someone who's strength is made perfect in our weakness, and trust him to be stronger.

i know that this isn't a very popular mindset in our world...no appologies. if popularity were my goal...i wouldn't bother.
