EPHESIANS 4:29 PART DEUX (UPDATED)

OKAY,
SO,
I HAVE BEEN STUDYING
JUST THIS ONE LITTLE VERSE
FOR, LIKE,
FOREVER.
AT LEAST AFTER
MY PASTOR
VERY POLITELY REQUESTED.

IMMEDIATELY, THO,
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
ARMS FOLDED,
NOSE IN THE AIR,
WELL, THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR ME.
THE WORDS 'DON'T LET UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS'
DIDN'T APPLY TO MOI.
I DON'T USE BAD LANGUAGE ANYMORE.
BUT, AS IT WAS MY PASTOR WHO WAS ASKING,
NAY, NUDGING ME TO MEMORIZE THIS PARTICULAR SCRIPTURE,
EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO TELL HIM NO
CUZ I'M ON THIS OTHER PATH,
MY OWN,
YOU KNOW,
MY POEMS?
SO, NO, DON'T HAVE TIME TO MEMORIZE
A SCRIPTURE THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO ME.
YEP.  
BOY, TALK ABOUT CONVICTION.

THAT ONE LITTLE PIECE OF GOD'S WORD MEANS MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I HAD FIRST THOUGHT,
HONESTLY,
JUST GRAZING THE SCRIPTURE AT FIRST,
IT MEANT NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ME.
WHICH IS QUITE SILLY.
BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE VERSE IN HIS WORD
WAS WRITTEN FOR ME,
INDIVIDUALLY.
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED 'THE LIVING WORD'.
CUZ IT CHANGES,
MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES
ALL THROUGH YOUR LIFE.
BUT ONLY,
HOPEFULLY OBVIOUSLY,
IF YOU READ IT.

NOW THAT THIS VERSE IS WRITTEN ON MY HEART,
I PRAY
THAT WHATEVER I WOULD WRITE,
WHATEVER I WOULD SAY
WOULD BE HELPFUL,
UPLIFTING,
SWEET,
WISE.

I STUDIED THIS VERSE FOR SO LONG
BECAUSE I WAS CONVICTED WHEN I REALIZED
HOW LONG MUSLIMS PRAY.
SO WHY COULDN'T I PRAY TO THE TRUE GOD
MORE THAN THAT, 
LIKE HOW ABOUT ALL DAY? 
AS GROWN-UP CHRISTIANS
WE NEED TO EAT MEAT.

I FINALLY DECIDED THAT IT WAS QUITE TIME
FOR ME TO START
(UG) EATING MEAT.
(I AM A VEGETARIAN,
SO THAT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO SAY.)
I NEEDED TO DIG INTO HIS WORD,
PRAY
AND WORSHIP HIM
ALL DAY.

SO I DARE YOU TO TRY IT.
JUST ONE DAY.
TURN OFF YOUR TV OR YOUR COMPUTER,
(EXCEPT IF YOU ARE READING MY POETRY)
PUT SOME PRAISE AND WORSHIP MUSIC ON
AND PRAISE JESUS
LIKE DAVID DID.
SEPT MAYBE DRESSED.

JUST A SUGGESTION.

DON'T BE ASHAMED.
BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MAY BE WATCHING.

EPHESIANS 4:29

DO NOT LET UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHERS UP ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN.
