Fear of God

The fear of God

Is Jesus looking

Over your life's chart

And shaking his head

      See my 'Faith Flowings' poem if you wish, Swingline. Not to draw attention to my own poems, but it's related to the theme here.
      I always see 'the fear of God' as meaning 'reverence and awe' of Him, not a 'terror' fear.
      We should be sorry for our sins. Yet Jesus has come to bring forgiveness to us. We have to ask for it though, as you probably know.
      I doubt He will shake His head at you, because He sees you (and all other true believers) as forgiven in Him. There's no 'hellfire and brimstone' stuff for us now, thankfully!

              Enjoyed your four line poem very much, Swingline. A few well chosen words can speak volumes, can't they.

                I strive for brevity Louis . Like a bee's stinger , it's short but long enough . Thank you Louis Gibbs for reading .
