You Bet Your Life

A chance for eternity is at stake. Life is too important to make a mistake. Some try to get rich playing the lottery, Odds are against them, but they play merrily. Some think we are a product of natural selection, Enzymes and molecules, in some random collection. Trillions to one, against it, yet they still believe, A Designer with a purpose, too hard to conceive. Our life is too important, to risk it on the odds, It's actually more intelligent, to believe in God. Life, comes from life, not some chance of fate, Trusting in an organic soup, isn't that, blind faith? Life's not a game of chance, we all have a choice. Believe in our maker, and make him rejoice. The ridiculers laugh and scoff, but they are rolling the dice, With the odds against them, they are betting their life. John Derek Hamilton October 15,2015

I see why you suggested I look for this new one. Great advice for those blinded and deafened by Satan. Persecution because of religion is something many of us face, but I've learned to expect it, shake the dust from my feet and move on. I love this one, John...added to favs. ~ Lin ~
