Friends,
There is a considerable ‘fine’ extracted,
For each part of God’s design we have redacted.
God defined us ‘male and female’, with no ‘blur’.
We’ve ‘crossed’, and even push to erase...gender!
To God, Christians repent of sin and accept Jesus as their Savior.
We redefined them as ‘admiring some of
what Jesus stands for’.
We ignore ‘I AM The Way!’ that He said near His
life’s end.
Our president doesn’t recall ever repenting of
sin!
Jesus made believers ‘evangelicals’ with His Great Commission,
But we redefined ‘evangelicals’ as ‘right-wing’
Republicans.
God says ‘Workers are worth their hire, so pay up!’ 1
The rich say, ‘I’ll stiff them when I file as bankrupt!’
God designed our life to learn of animals and tend the earth.
We redesigned life as raping the earth and animals’ worth.
‘Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him’
is what God requires.
is what God requires.
We say, ‘Be the best Type A, so YOU can be the one
who hires...and fires!’
who hires...and fires!’
There are seeds we all plant, whose fruit we absolutely hate,
Yet still we plant, even as fruit from past seeds are
on
our plate.
Seeds of which I speak are what God calls sin, and their fruit
is
death.
There are different kinds of this fruit, not just the
loss of your breath.
Though some may disagree, it’s still not too late for
humankind,
To get our lives back on track, and heed our Creator’s design.
It will be quite a challenge, and things will
not change
overnight.
From His seeds in hearts of ‘good soil’, we’ll have
fruit that
He calls, ‘Right!’ 2
By now it should be clear -- our cumulative history,
Proves our life redesigns are not working
so perfectly!!
Could repeating actions while expecting different outcomes,
Suggest that of insanity... we’ve likely become victims??
Revelation mentions sins ‘reaching to Heaven’.3
Here’s a question that I hope may be a beacon.
Ask yourself this: Have ours? Or have yours?
Before they do,
let’s change our life’s course.

3 The Book of Revelation 18:5
My prayer is that all would come to the knowledge that we are in desperate need of a savior. I pray that all will repent and come under the rule and covering by the blood of Jesus Christ. I pray that we will come to know that all that God has established in the beginning, no man can change.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Peace!
I agree with the first two points in your prayer.
DeleteActually, since Adam, mankind has been doing exactly what you address in your third point -- changing what God has ordained and established. In His great scheme of life, God has indeed allowed us to change many things He established, and He calls it sin. And we see and experience the cumulative effects and consequences of our actions, yet we hardheadedly persist.
