It's not on top, it's inside

i watched TV everyday which took me away to places i'd always dreamt of going but it took me a while to realise those miles could only be travelled by boeing so as i sat and watched the telly i felt a rumble in my belly and i got up to go and feed my face but it was when i passed the mirror that i started to reconsider for i saw a side wards view of my waist the next day i went to gym to become strong fit and slim and to be a muscle man the chicks would dig i slowly started looking better and my wet-look got all wetter but, alas, my ego then became too big i then decided to start learning so big bucks i could start earning but, then money got the better part of me and i realised: all these idols are false gods without titles for only through God can we be free so...... exasperated i asked: "Lord, what is the task for which life was breathed into me?" He sighed and looked down and said with a frown: 'JUST OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOU'LL SEE!' so i opened my eyes and looked all around i looked up at the ceiling and down at the ground i looked inside the cupboard and under the bed but i neglected searching inside my heart or my head i looked underneath the rug on the floor i looked out the window and behind the door i used my binoculars to search far and wide but my search was in vain for i searched not inside i asked my friends: "what should i do?" they said: "get a job with a company car too" i asked my family for advice i should follow and although they meant well their advice just seemed hollow and so at last i turned to The Book (for you will always find things in the last place you look) Matthew 25 verse 14 to 30 was the answer my sweet Lord then revealed to me for this story tells you to be who you are and to not hide away what is inside your heart for God gives each a talent, or two and at the day of reckoning He will ask: 'WHO ARE YOU?' and if you then say: "um, Lord i do not know" He will say: 'I GAVE YOU SEED, WHY DID IT NOT GROW?' you see, if we hide away what He's given us we discard all of our blessings and some of His trust for God will only give as much as we will take and choosing to take little would be a grave mistake so stop listening to the devil telling you what you cannot do instead, listen to the Lord your God and become as He sees you: Children of the Most High!
