Notes About The Poem

A Treasure Chest

**    


                     Each time I read God's Holy Book,
                            It's like a treasure chest.
                    You never know what you will find.
                             Until you look inside.

                   Each page is like a pure adventure.
                      Each word is a precious stone.
                    God always speaks the total truth.
                          His words breath of life.

                   This verse I saw had golden words.
                            A promise Oh, so true
                         Jesus said that He'd return. 
                           And I will come for you.

                  So, keep this treasure in your heart.
                           I'll never let you down.
                     I'll reign with you forever more.
                        And heaven will be on earth.

                          1 Thessalonians 4:17-18                      
                          Then we which are alive
                       and remain shall be caught
                 up together with them in the clouds,
                 to meet the Lord in the air: and so, 
                   shall we ever be with the Lord.”
                 “Wherefore comfort one another
                            with these words.

Anil Deo April 8, 2022 at 3:49 AM I madecrefernce to book of Hebrews ( re- "chastisement") but that long comment was chastized by cyberspace. Shalom shalom ThX Debra L Brown April 8, 2022 at 10:42 AM Hi! Anil, isn't it nice to know that Jesus is coming back one day. God does chasten the ones he love Hebrew 12:6. Specially if they are His. Prayers & Blessings ~ Debra

Anil Deo April 8, 2022 at 3:47 AM Wonderful. God is the first perfect Parent: love + discipline. We are His favorites - as with Israel - but He often called Israel a harlot, whore, prostitute for idolatry - and He will judge us even as His field workers Debra L Brown April 8, 2022 at 10:43 AM Thanks, Anil for your comment. Blessings ~ Debra
