By My Spirit

My spirit is keeping my soul in check because it is Him who dwells within me.

My soul is way too smart, way too emotional, and God bless the person who tries to interfere when she has her mind made up.

She governs her body but all too often becomes subjected to it.

My body loves to be gratified, satisfied, blessed, caressed, eased, pleased, but she never wants to give in and fall to her knees.

She is selfish, greedy, quick tempered, immature, lazy, hard-headed and her neck is always outstretched.

She fights tooth and nail to ignore that feeling in the pit of her stomach that always seems to show up when her soul gets convicted, inflicted, conflicted and wants to be restricted.

She is in denial when she "just can't" in the middle of doing that thing she wanted to do so badly.

She thinks her conscious is all out of whack because it must be wrong for fighting her desires.

Little does she know, it is not that made up thing that non-believers created to justify that which they cannot understand.

That “thing” is The Way, The Truth, and The Light.

The breath of God, all His will, a fraction of His might.

So check yourself when body gets that urge and soul becomes confused.

Now I live by my spirit to keep my soul in check and my body becomes subject.

For it is He who dwells within me.
