Like the world I don’t want to be, a life the devil wants me to live and tries to tempt me into sin. Like the world I sometimes act, sarcastic or with malicious attacks when people start talking smack. Ways of this world is how I grew up, filled with lies, fights and lust, and in my heart you’d find deception and selfish love, until the day came when I had enough. Jesus was always there and in me he never gave up. I turn to Jesus everyday, praying teach me your loving ways, but I find it’s a constant struggle because my mouth or actions get me into trouble. I desire not to be like the world, so now the Holy Spirit lives in this girl and everyday I’m trying to learn how not to be like this awful world.
