I was reading Galatians 1 today and came up with this, be blessed.
Now I Unlearn
I look behind me at the life I had lived
I see me trying to please all around me
Oh I tried and fail I did
They were never pleased with me
At least most of them were not
Though I know I shouldn't them please
Yet I tried for I had so learned to be
Now I realize how shameful it is
To try to please one who does the same
For most of them that I try to please
Also seek to please another who is displeased
And so I wonder who we all strive to please
For I myself am not so impressed
By others who try to please me
Simply because I have no measure
No standards of accepting them
but that which was handed down to me
By them who I had tried to please
And rejected me still
But then I read in The Word
Of the only one that I should please
Beaten and Battered by the world
How do I please my Master still
Though now I know Him I should please
Or maybe I have always know and ignored
Yet I struggle to please my Lord
But now I unlearn
what the world had painfully taught
Now I unlearn to please them
But also I relearn to please
Though now I please another
He who I please is always pleased
And not the others who are always displeased
And now I unlearn
To learn to please
My Lord who loves me so
Who accept and not reject me so
Now I unlearn
