Just Enough Religion

In class Wednesday night, someone made the comment that "some people have just enough religion to make them miserable when they decide to play in darkness". That got me thinking ... and thinking often gets me writing ... so here is what I wrote last night =)

             Just EnoughReligion 

I had just enough religion not to mind

Sitting through church each Sunday morn and eve

Through the innocence of a child's eyes

Knowing God was effortless for me.

I had just enough religion that I knew

The things my friends did were not always right

Amidst the conflict of a young teens trying heart

Praying of then helped me get through the night.

I had just enough religion to feel bad

When I got sidetracked and caught up in the world

And as time and trials wore against my soul

More wickedness Satan at me hurled.

I had just enough religion to recall

That through His son God had laid out a plan

So that people such as I could find a way

This world and it's temptations to withstand.

I'll have more than enough religion to help keep

Heaven as the focus of my heart

Enough love for God to keep me serving Him

Til' time ends and we're never more apart.

...do you have only enough religion to make you miserable when you chose to do things you know you shouldn't? Or do you have enough religion to keep you focused? Enough dedication to keep your life centered on God? All things are a choice. Our choice. My choice. your choice. Make the right one.
