Life
Life
Life
T he beauty of the universe
around us everywhere.
Some people
show their thankfulness
others hardly seem to care.
Food and
drink and clothing,
necessities of life.
But do not
worship elements;
God gives us breath and life.
I know one
thing is certain,
it surely won’t abate.
That God
will judge each person,
if seems early or seems late.
Time passes
very quickly,
each year another spent.
I love you,
neighbor, truly,
and I hope you will repent.
In light of
all these happenings,
shouldn’t we consider then.
That Jesus
Christ was crucified,
and, yes, he rose again.
To call His
people “holy,”
and give them new-found life.
Granting
them an inner peace,
and deliverance from strife.
To say,
“No,” to temptation,
living righteous every day.
As owner He sets the
standards,
for what we do and say.
He gives
each person life and breath,
and watches what we do.
Created in
His image,
we are to watch Him, too.
He’s
given us His Holy Word,
from His own Holy Spirit.
It’s
accurate and true,
and He’s hoping we will hear it.
So, yes,
life’s just a vapor,
each day merely a breath.
Today we may
be vigorous,
but our destiny is death.
This curse
we have from Adam,
by eating of the tree.
But by
following Jesus Christ,
we can truly be set free!
God wishes
none to perish,
His patience unsurpassed.
But choosing
to reject Him,
will reap his fiery blast.
Some people think this
foolishness,
I hope this isn’t you.
I used to
mock and curse God,
offered lipservice, too.
I wrote this
especially for you,
I did my very best,
To give you
just the highlights,
the Bible has the rest.
So choose
this day whom you will serve,
the decision’s yours to make.
The just and
loving God of heaven,
or the crafty snake.
The latter
is a murderous tyrant,
he makes unjust demands.
But God
gives eternal life to all,
who follow His commands.
