Cross To Crumbs

CROSS TO CRUMBS

My heart is grieved for many a men
Who have forsaken the calling of the Cross
And have gone to chase 'rats and rabbits'.

On the Cross, we died to sin
From the grave, we were resurrected
And now we are seated with Christ in Heaven.

Where we are now, is the highest place
What we have now, is the greatest treasure
Who we are now, is the Lord's children.

But many have left this glory
And have gone under men's tables
To beg for crumbs- fame/fortune.

Come out from there, O child of God
Come back to the glorious message of the Cross
For in Christ, we have the greatest identity/wealth.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
