Relaxing in false holiness

		Getting caught in the trap
		Of justifying to self -
		Picking out the holiest parts of my life
		And relating them to what is being preached -
		I get and give a false overview
		And image of myself -
		For I am only reviewing
		The good things in my life
		Not identifying the sinful things -
		The ones ignorant of God -
		The ones that I need to change.

		They are harder to look at
		As they are more painful to realise -
		They are humbling
		And sometimes humiliating,
		But, with God, they are healing.

		To get caught in this trap -
		Missing the point,
		Is damaging to my relationship with God -
		It gives me a sense that I'm making it fine,
		That I don't need to change any more,
		That I don't need to rely on God so much -
		But I am mistaken in this
		For I am always needing to change for God,
		Transform into what He created me to be,
		And I don't think I'll make it this side of death,
		But to believe falsely that I'm there already
		Only a few miles down the Road
		Is foolishness
		And misleading to myself and others.
