Poem Title:
Poem
Between God and the human race is space. Oh,what brought us to this place? I mean, He fashioned us to be near to Him, to be His dearest friend, but a foreigner entered in...... prominant and dominant, that beguiling seductress........ sin. Oh, that is something God simply can't stand.... like kryptonite to Superman. Now, God of this universe, with you I must converse. I abhor the thought of being eternally banned from your glorious paradise. There must be a master plan to make things forever right again. Lord God, may I ask of you, is there anything I can do? For I so much long to stay close to you. I mean, I know this is not part of the original design. But must I resign myself to the fact that nothing can be done..... that sin has actually won? Oh.... no that is like a dagger to my heart... a paralyzing thought. Please tell me it doesn't end like this.... no ultimate utopia.... no heavenly bliss.What would this life then be about? What purpose would I serve on this earth... you who gave me birth? All would be superficial... chasing after the sun..... no fun just monotonous work to be done, day after tedious day. No real worthwhile goal in mind, it wouldn't even matter how I spent my time.But certainly you created me for so much more. Please open a door. Even though I may be drowning in my sin, will you find it within, to somehow, like a lifeguard,rescue me from the undertow...... even drag me safely to your shore. Wake me from this horrific nightmare. Prove to me that you care enough to help me bridge this huge chasm between us. You say there is really nothing I can do other than just to trust that it is already handled... already taken care of. You say it is all about grace or undeserved love. The gift of Jesus..... Emmanuel..... a special gift from above. Oh, so I can only get to you through following Him, and He's the one who eradicates all of my sin. You say another name for this man named Jesus is the Christ and yet another is the Way.Sounds to me like we should celebrate Him and call it..... Christmas Day.
