He was shamed for me
He was beaten for me
He was humiliated for me
He was killed for me
What can I do for him?
The ultimate thing is life
For someone who gave me his life
What can I offer him when I really want to live?
I was told I could win souls for him
What will he do with the souls?
Is it that he needs more fans?
I am told even non living things can give him praises
So He doesn’t need praises
So what can I do for Him?
The most interesting one is their assertion that
My righteousness is like a filthy rag in His presence
What kind of pressure is this?
What can I do at all to impress Him?
If I cannot impress Him
Then can I shamefully say I didn’t ask Him any favour?
Will I be an ingrate?
Pressure, pressure, pressure
How can I believe something I have not seen?
Maybe I must bring my mind home from wandering.

very powerful message. what I believe about religion is nothing but, to love,beloved, live and let others live in peace, harmony and brotherhood. What my belief is my belief , you have your own belief. Why worry and bother self or others. God is love and love is God—–simple as that:) I LOVE YOU

A pain-filled dilemma indeed. Is bringing your mind home from wandering like giving up the need to impress him? giving up your questions? and your shame? so that only peace and acceptance remains?
Powerful writing.

Thank you Elouise. I have been in a state of confusion for a long time on religion basis. Sometimes one wonders what is and what is not. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
