I Have Learned Poem by Mikienna Joi

I have learned I cannot make someone love, honor, and respect me. All I can do is be someone who can be loved.

I have learned I cannot change someone. That's God's place. If I need to change them, then they are not perfect for me.

I have learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

I have learned that the closer I walk with Jesus..., the further and faster people separate from me.

I have learned that when all efforts fail, just stand on TRUTH.

I have learned that 'time and chance' DO happen to everyone. Complaints will not change that.

I have learned that unforgiveness affects me and everyone around me, more than the one who did me wrong.

I have learned that wrong choices, lack of recognition, and hesitation will rob ME of blessings.

I have learned that at the end of each day, the person looking at me in my mirror should be who God says I should be.

I have learned that my 'opinion' is never right if it doesn't agree with God's truth.

I have learned that the world does not revolve around me. LIFE goes on, with or without me. The choice is ALWAYS mine.
