Tardy.
the right thing, at the wrong time...is still the wrong thing. not only must i work on the motivation behind my actions, i need to work on the timing of it as well. too much haste, it may cause hurt. too slow, a blessed opportunity forgone.
when God asks us to do something, and we put it off till later...it's a sin. delayed obedience...is disobedience. i must learn and discern between Godly timing and manly timing. inactivity may sometimes be the best activity.
alas, i must wait. 730.
Belated in action
Retarded in thought
Self-seeking means
Were all that I sought
I thought I could do it
All on my own
Have the cake and eat it
But then I was shown
Sometimes it's better
To not eat at all
Counting the cost
As my frozen heart thaws
Still a long ways
From attaining that joy
One day I'll grow up
No longer a boy
I'm learning to breathe
A breath that's anew
No more wrong-doing
No viewpoints skewed
Though belated in action
Still retarded in thought
But am becoming the man
His atoning blood bought

Uno.
sometimes...i do things for the wrong reason. actually...a lot of times...i do things for the wrong reason. it's not so much as the act itself that digusts me, but rather, the motivation behind it. that desire to put up a front when you know that's not really who you are inside. the fascade and playmaking, the superficiality of it all...pure hypocrisy. personally, this usually happens when there's that certain particular unique individual that one wants to serenade and woo...
then i'm reminded,
life's a stage...and there's only an audience of One.
[john 4:23-24]
