He didn’t make evil,
He makes us free,
Energizes us in
Ev’ry second,
Leaves us free to act out,
Lets us decide,
So too, we live in sin;
Short, Exemplar,
We fall flat. Your Ways are
Wasted in us;
When the earth does tremble,
We don’t see but
Partially; we lash out,
Praying: stop it!
But let us see the whole,
Bring us Your light!
We’ll be more rev’rent and
Witness to God;
Won’t attack our neighbors,
Write terr’ble posts,
Or speak badly of each
Other! Can we?
John gave us his vision:
Jesus, Heaven;
Our reward and Heaven
Our hope! despair
Not, emboldened, our step
Now marching the
Narrow, through thick, thin, and
New suffering!
You didn’t make evil,
You made us free.

Gary - Peace!
But if this God of yours left us free, abdicated all responsibility, of what relevance is your God anyway?
Take care of yourself.
A loving God; waiting to see if we will freely choose to love him back during our one and only lifetime. When we die - the choice we have made in our hearts to freely love God or not is final - hence: the quality of our everlasting life we freely choose: Heaven or Hell. Choose correctly my friend - the quality of your everlasting life depends upon it.
A fine write Gary.
It ain't me poetry 'posts' that are terrible, but if I sing 'em, the whole state of things chases to horror! lol 🙂
Thank you Orchidee! Yes, I wrote that line convinced by the many uncharitable posts we are each capable of writing on this wonderful phenomena known as social media. Cheers my friend!
I was charitable with my donations. Well, sort of! I send I would send them a cheque/check - but for one pound (one dollar in your money?!). lol.
