The Humble

There’s a verse, 
that says the meek shall inherit the earth.
Some might think that this is a curse.
But they got it in reverse.
For those who serve others are the most beloved.
It’s a shame, 
how folks chase after fame.
Thinking they are making a name.
But they’ll find, 
all they’re making is time, 
until they have to leave it, 
all behind them.
God lifts up the humble.
Those who lift themselves stumble.
If you’re willing to lose your life you will find that’s when you gain it.
There are plans.
You might think one is good for you.
But is this what God wants you to do?
Ask and pray, 
and He will show you the way,
and you will have joy, 
for the rest of your days.
Put aside, 
dreams just based on pride.
that causes one to hide, 
all the pain and the fears that’s inside,  and the tears that are cried, 
when your living a lie.
Trust His way.
He knows what’s best for you.
He knows what you’ll like to do.
You’ll find that He’s greater than kind. 
And He’ll give you more joy,
than has entered  your mind.
