The Book of Life

The Book Of Life In The book of life, the GODS" have written, all the good things and the bad things that will come. They also wrote the LAWS of everafter. How I wish - I could erase, from that old book - all the bad things that are written for me and add the good ones to the ones that are written for you. In the book of life, there are many things that we have done. Some are good and some are bad. The bad things - we want to forget, but they have been written and can not be erased. You wonder - did I do more good, or did I do more bad? We don't know, but there is a JUDGE that will judge us all and only He is the one that knows. He might decide to erase the bad, for one good thing that you once did, but we don't know. Well now you know, that there is a book being written about your life. It is being written as you live. So just be careful of how you live, because one day your book He'll read. Only then He will decide - if you lived wrong, or if you lived right... 04/03/2013 Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo

Lucilla, what a great write this is, love the way you've laid it out and the words are powerful. Thought provoking. I'm already working on my excuses if that's any use. Thank you. Take care, Richard

I too believe that everything is predetermined by God. I have seen inner that what mind says there conscience opposes and something happens what I don't like to think. Sometimes something cheat me even i be with truth. Thanks...., loved always, bl

Wow! This is a thought provoking read. There is a Book of Life...That is where the named of those who have accepted Jesus and live according to His will are recorded. In the end, my dear...even though we want to do good, we sometimes fail. The beautiful thing about the Judge is that He is also our Advocate and He forgives us when we as! He helps us to do good. Fantastic write, my dear. God bless you for sharing!

Yes, this book of life, I wonder myself how much good is written in it, I hope that it is a lot so the Lord could be proud of my accomplishments here on Earth...so He wouldn't have to be ashamed of me! But through Him my life looks positive, but only through Him is my book good. For only He can erase the sin from the book of life! I enjoyed your masterful poem this evening! Thank you for sharing this delightful piece! Great Work!!
