Topic: Clarify (10/15/15)
Who do you say you are, is the question?
I will tell you who I am not in this world of imperfection.
I am not just a number in technology.
Not realizing I have an identity.

I am not made up with mechanical brains.
With a mind that thinks thoughts only to train,
Others to be just like me with a robots programming.
I cannot conform to this world’s way of retraining.

Now I will to tell you who I am in my story.
God has made me in His image for His glory.
He created someone like me, who is weak.
So, He can glorify His own strength.

I have my own identity that is unique.
I can think reason and speak.
I make choices every day.
That will affect me along the way.

If I ask, God gives me wisdom.
In order to help me to make the right decisions.
He has a plan for my life,
Through the Lord Jesus the Christ.

To clarify who I am,
Is simple with God’s plan.
When I accepted Him as my Savior,
He took my old sinful nature and changed my behavior.

I became more like Jesus with each new day.
We are made into Christ likeness with our own personalities to display.
Start anew and be accepted into His fold.
With a new zest in life for others to behold.

The bottom line.
We were created in God’s time.
He makes no mistakes and He will clarify,
Who we really are in our identity with Christ.

An interesting entry. I like your thought process.

Your use of commas needs work. I recommend you check out Writing Lessons by Jan on the Forum. There are at least two lessons. They are not long, and you will reap big rewards.

Example of your writing:
I can think reason and speak.

Correction with proper use of commas:
I can think, reason, and speak.

Keep working at writing. You have talent that is waiting to emerge.

This is very clear and a good point. You have "clarified" your views on your identity in Christ. Keep writing!

One weeks writing time does not allow for perfecting condensing words for an even line length.

It is usually easier for me to read a poem with similar line lengths.

I am thankful that an understanding of Acts 2:36 where we are told that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. When we gladly receive these words of Peter (Acts 2:41) our faith will produce actions causing Jesus to become our Savior.

Our life will clarify whom we belong to.
