You'Re Invited

Like the man with his gourde in sitting there off to the side Looking down upon the whole horde with a disdainful pride In so waiting for such a sight to suddenly come and appear Doubting they'll see the Light, doubting they will ever hear Poor Jonah up there on that hill waiting for God to destroy Never really having the will to share with others God's Joy So he would sit there and wait as the sun beat on his head But he didn't know Nineveh's fate as they repented instead Such a gloom filled heart had he that he missed the point What Jonah never came to see is that only God can anoint But Nineveh didn't last eternally just two generations or so For it was their weak morality their children came to know So the point in being is to go tell everyone of His Kingdom Help others in so seeing even if you have no luck with some Don't sit up there on a hill looking down upon what you see I believe it is God's Will to give everyone a chance to be free Jonah Chapter 4:1-11

Amen beautiful write. I wrote a poem a chance I read it out loud and put it on you tube. With some other poems and u lyric songs. God is reaching people through our poetry. I never expected much but I've had 326 views on my you tube channel so God is at work in us. God bless you

That's really cool. A little bashful but have been experimenting with the video. And when the poet reads it, it is so much better. Great job! I think those views might skyrocket!
