Here is a poem I wrote recently. Something God has been teaching me. Hope you enjoy!
"Taking Note"
By: Tyler Shugart
Listen to those around you, listen…
You’ll find that everyone has their own story
And not every story will be like yours
Some will intrigue you, some will seem boring
Does that mean they aren’t important? No way!
They are just different from yours, and that’s OK
Each person has something to share
Take the time to sit down and show them you care
But why do Christians get so frustrated or confused
When folks can’t see what they call the Light?
They turn to negative town and forget
That non-believers don’t see through the same sight
Man, woman, atheist, gay, straight, senile
Each person has a unique personality style
So find out what makes each individual tick
When talking about Jesus there doesn’t have to be a shtick
Now, some people might not give a flying flip
About what you have to say
That’s when you leave it in the Potter’s hands
You are just the clay
Jesus is the one to sit back and observe
He came not only to preach the good news, but to serve
The Messiah read people like words on a page
Because He saw what was beating behind their ribcage
For certain ones, He performed miraculous healings
And exclaimed, “Your sins are forgiven!”
To others He simply said follow me
Let me guide you to the land of the livin’
You see, it all came down to the Son of God’s approach
Instead of riding first class, The King of Kings chose coach
The first shall be last, and the last shall be first
Were the words He lived by from the time of His birth
So we must lay down our pride
Quit thinking we have it all figured out
Because if we think we are better than others
How can people see what Christ is about?
