THE CHOICE This world is so contentious, Heartless and filled with strife, The next world will be quite a contrast: PARADISE and ETERNAL LIFE. Yet, this will only be for the forgiven, Those cleansed by the Blood of Christ, The unrepentant will be left in shock, On the day the of the Rapture heist. The CHOICE is now -- a verdict is required, It can no longer be put on “hold”, You can choose to anguish in flames of fire, Or saunter onto the streets of gold. You can love this world and lose your soul, Or you can set your sights on High, You can waste your time building ephemeral treasures, And in your sins you will surely die. Why is it so hard to humble the heart? Why must selfishness rear its head? Jesus died on The Cross to free us from sin, So that we may live sanctified instead. But that Gift is often refused, The unremorseful taunt it with utter derision, In their arrogant pride they reject their Savior, While remaining haughty in their dreadful decision. Why would anybody look to Heaven, And then disregard that blissful CHOICE? The time of assessment is now upon us, God bless those who hear His Voice! The Bride will soon be at the Banquet, Joined by her dearly-departed family and friends; Jesus will joyfully consummate our marriage, IN A PARADISE THAT NEVER ENDS!!! I can hardly wait -- in fact, every day it gets harder and harder to wait! Your pal, Humbly Beautiful, as always! The concept of God is a difficult one at best for many. Because no man has seen God, the Lord thought it best to put some meat on that conceptual bone, so to speak. So the God incarnate was born! That we might be more able to relate. Heaven being His house, His rules apply. Love me, love my Son! 4 thousand years we awaited His appearance. Now two thousand years later we wait for His return! An intimate relationship, albeit on His terms! Therein lies the rub, even for many Christian's! The concepts that Christianity proposes are simple, fulfilling them is difficult. TR HI, I love the wording “sauntering on streets of gold” —- I cant wait to be one Who will saunter! Or stroll! Lol, tremendously exciting :prayer-hands:
