Poem Title:
Poem
I wonder: If we believe that Jesus Christ is the only BEGOTTEN Son of God, Do we get a free ride into heaven? Yes and No! Yes, because Jesus overcame the grave and was resurrected, We all will likewise be resurrected. We have been saved from eternal demise…because of Jesus. …And perfection! And NO because if we fail to forgive, we will not be forgiven…so Jesus said! I ask, then, will we obtain exaltation if we disapprove of another and condemn him? (We MUST leave that responsibility to God who can read the heart?) Can we censure, disparage, denounce, rebuke, defile, slam, attack, find fault, knock, reproach, scorn, or criticize and still be held blameless during our own judgment? Is it enough to say, “I am sorry, please forgive me”? Then, dismiss our human weakness? Or must we teach ourselves to STOP! If we ridicule, tease, and make fun of another, Do we deny ourselves of higher spirituality? I say, “Yes!” Understanding, compassion, and pure love diminish. If we judge others, we will be judged likewise. If we forgive others, we will be forgiven likewise. Jesus said, “Yes!” Forgiveness teaches love, tolerance, and understanding. Blaming teaches hatred, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. The choice is ours to make. Will we spend our hearts and souls making fun of another for personal amusement? Or might we, instead, look inside the hearts of another with Christ-like wisdom? Life is a learning process; love takes practice. Good luck to all who seek righteousness and exaltation. For eternal life is more than a game of wits. It is a competition between righteousness and wickedness. The choice is ours and it is free! What choose you, this day? God help us all!
