L.E.A.R.N. (Poem)

No respecter of anyone is He.
Do you ever wonder, ‘How can this be?’
Are some clearly favored more than others?
Is there favor just for those He prefers?

Favor without favoritism, to you contradiction?
Creator, but not Father of all, a stark distinction?
Partial without partiality, a confusion?
To conundra such as these, there’s an explanation.

God makes offers -- clear choices to all men,
With outcomes that impact our lives and end.
He clearly has those that He prefers,
But He will respect our ‘choice’ orders.

As much as He is an impartial Choice Giver,
He’s also an impartial Judge and Law Giver.
As Judge, He does not intend to change our choices,
But when they’re wrong, He must give us His sentences.

Ahhh, but when they’re right, in them and us He delights,
And all His blessings flow, raising us to fresh heights!
From these stark distinctions, He intends for us to LEARN,

So from each ‘choice investment’, we’ll reap a nice return.

As we live, there is one thing we must keep in mind,
Or else, in this life, we may end up in a bind.
While nice results is what we are yearning,
We must always ask, ‘What am I learning?’ 

Learning, key to unlocking hidden truths,
Thus, we must think and act like ‘learning sleuths’.
But if to just more learning we become so captive,
We’ll miss opportunities for ...life-style adaptive! 

L.E.A.R.N., what could this acronym signify?
At this, I took a stab, gave it a try.
Tell me what you may think of my conclusion,

Let me know what’s your acronym suggestion.

L.E.A.R.N.
Look, Examine, Assess, Reaffirm/Redeem, Notice

This acronym signifies how God intends us to learn:

Examine and assess what our ‘choice investments’ returned.

Reaffirm the good; redeem the bad, new choices to instate.

Anticipate, then notice the good your changes will create.

In His awesome love, God gave us His Bible,

For us to learn how life’s forces to bridle.

It’s all about people who did and didn’t learn,
And the rewards and punishments each did earn.¹

Though the ancient text version has been completed,

The purpose of my message would be defeated,

If I failed to note God’s record is still being written,

Day-by-day with your every ‘choice investment’ decision.

¹ As you browse through The Bible, learn lessons from those who learned, and those who didn’t learn Heaven’s policy Truths like these:

…for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.  (2 Samuel 2:30) Even this is a reflection of Grace!

The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down (humbled before Him). He will fulfill the desire of those who fear (honor/respect/obey) Him. He will also hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all those who love Him, but the wicked He will destroy. (Psalm 145 excerpt)

The Lord opens the (spiritual) eyes of the blind. The Lord raises those who are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the strangers (immigrants). He relieves the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down. (Psalm 146 excerpt)
