There is always something new to find in the word of God; Sara,, this piece reminds me of the different ways that various scriptures are interlinked though seeming quite different at the first view...) enjoyed the write...!

This is such a wonderful Ninette Sara! I have to tell you that the line with the word Repent is in supposed to be 3 syllables and Repent is only 2. I'm sorry to be the bearer of news like this but I appreciate it when others fine errors like this in my poetry! If you don't like this please let me know and I will not correct any more of your writes! I usually catch the syllable count as that is my strong suit in my poetry! I really enjoyed this poem that I have read this afternoon. Awesome Work!!

This verse has is been taking out context so many time if you read the next verse in context it is not a bad thing to be dead to this world or to in die the Lord, for in the context of passage the next verse says to strengthen those that are ready to die. I not trying to offend you but I must preach Jesus Christ the truth. I hope you will study this more clearly

John, Thanks for your opinion of the scripture..I believe that only some of the people at Sardis were dead(spiritually) and the others were on tract were to receive the white garment ..Thanks again.. Sara
