Plagiarism
the
big no no
in school.
Plagiarism: the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and
passing them off as one's own. (Oxford Reference)
So,
is it
plagiarism
when I say~
I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. or when I say~
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst.
or when I say~
Lord, I believe, Help me with my unbelief
or when I say~
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it,
but it is sin living in me.
or when I say~
Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
Well I guess I am
plagiarizing
as I am taking Someone else's work and ideas and passing them off as my own
because they are
so true of me
as I could have penned them,
but only because
God wrote them on my heart
and that is where they are going to stay.
I may get a failing grade in school
if I
plagiarized
but I have to
plagiarize
in life
or I will fail
and I could never say
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
How can you Plagiarize today?
