Poem
On one early morning came a knock upon my door I thought it was my daughter with grandkids I adore But there stood my sister, grief as plain as day She said her son had died in the war yesterday. Now she wonders why God just sits above He's supposed to be all powerful and so full of Love He surely could prevent our death, disease, and war Yet they happen still, and everyday brings more. Then to top it off, He makes a Lake of Fire That doesn’t sound like Love, it sounds like He’s a liar. After many tears, I took her by the hand And said, “There are some things you don’t understand. When God created life and all the world we see, It was perfect then, like we’d like it to be. But Adam chose to sin, and ever since that day Death awaited man, the debt of sin to pay. God could have killed us all and started over again Instead He made a way to save us from our sin. Yes, God so full of power, who lives in Heaven on high Loved the world so much, He sent His Son to die. His Son hung on a cross, then in a tomb He lay But death lost all it's sting when He rose the third day! Since God is perfect there, in His Home above Sin is not allowed, only Peace and Love. So God created Hell for Satan and for sin And on the Judgment day, He will throw them in. When Jesus died that day, His Blood flowed to forgive To wash man's sin away, so man with God can live. And all we have to do is believe that it is true, Repent of sin, so He, can cleanse us through and through. Now the curse of sin remains, so all men surely die Believers wake in Heaven, Eternal Home on High. But those who don't believe, still carry all their sin And God will have no choice, He can't let them in. Sin will be destroyed, along with the Devil in Hell Those that die in sin, will be sent there as well." My sister listened close, tears still flowing free Then she bowed her head, and there she prayed with me. "Jesus I confess my sin, I know that it was wrong. I know now that You cared for me, and Loved me all along. I invite You in my heart, please, take control of me Live Your life through me, so others plainly see." I hugged my sister tight, and I just had to grin, with greatest joy I told her that she'd see her son again. Before he left for war, I'd had a chance to share He's waiting now with Angels, to greet her over there.
