Destiny Versus Destination

Choose your destiny, but your destination has already been prepared you have only to follow the light of truth, with no cause to be scared mercy is given to the merciful, and only in the land of the living after returning to your heavenly abode, there is no longer forgiving Know that the place to mend is here, and the time to achieve is now passing into the world of souls, correction they will no longer allow our personality traits are in need of repair, we must dig very deep below if we fail to improve the error of our ways, forever will we remain low Three things, jealousy, lust and honor remove us from this world struggles of the body and duties of the soul, to us has this been hurled we do not have the choice to desist from exerting our efforts, this is a must heavenly eyes are watching, whether we will choose wisely and learn to trust Encountering life’s trials and tribulations, mitigating circumstances they will weigh what is required of us is to withstand, but for the right results we must surely pray like in human affairs, judge your neighbor favorably is the correct way to go becoming entangled in the net of gossip and slander, from them does sin flow This world is the place where we are expected to toil, that is why we were created at the end of this journey, we will finally see just how everything was interrelated a person’s face in the image of G-d was he created, and yet we embarrass him so his face turns red as he wishes himself dead, we have murdered him we must know Those that lower themselves in this world, in the next they will be raised up high everything is revealed, and for all the good you’ve done forgiveness you can rely He neither sleeps not slumbers, throughout our lives G-d does patiently await our shortcomings are no secret, despite our mistakes His love will never abate The day is short and the work is great, consider your obligations the hour is late how important it is to take stock, our destiny is ours and we control our own fate suffice it to say when all else has passed, one thing alone remains to be said look forward to what you acquired, eternal happiness, for you alone lies ahead

So many truths in your wonderful poem, Joshua. We seem to forget all we have is one life, one chance to get it right..all we have to do is believe and keep love in our hearts for God, our neighbor as ourselves. God bless. Always, Annalise
