Pat on the F'ing back

Don't put it out there until it's good
Is it good yet?
Has it achieved literary genius yet?
Is it worthy of opinion yet?
Is it better than the first?
Is it as deep as the last?

Did you edit it, throw in a fancy story, add a bridge, include impressive facts, come to a solid conclusion?

You decide
It's yours right?
Your words, Your poem, Your song, Your blog, Your testimony?
That's what YOU decided
When He gave you "your" gift
When He gave you "your" voice to sing, "your" writing ability, "your" words to speak
When He changed "your" life, and gave you "your" story

That's when you started
analyzing
editing
comparing
perfecting
picking and choosing

That's when you started deciding.

Why don't you take a minute, step back, and remember when you started deciding
When you took HIS blessing and made it YOUR talent
When you took a Holy Gift and compared it to the world's opinion

Where was HE in that decision?

note to the reader: I really wanted to drop a large F*** bomb at the end of this.
It might eventually have an ending, but right now it's just a Holy Conviction. haha, just...
