True Desires
You’d find that many
Many love the idea of
God but not God himself
So when you present the true God
They spit in your face
And rather hold the false view of God close
You’d find many that
Join God with a particular part of the bible
To exalt a particular character of His
That is seemingly in agreement to them
But separate Him from one section of the bible
To reduce a particular character of His
That is not in agreement to them
We forget God is the same God
In Corinthians and the Psalms is also the same
God in Exodus and Revelations
A lot would say God
A lot would say for Christ’s sake
But it has nothing to do with the God of the bible
So don’t think a person is referring to God
Because God is mentioned
A few times from their lips
Many want heaven without God
Many want Abraham’s blessing
but not the journey (tests and trial)
that paved the way to the blessings
