For god so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NIV …the great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:21 NIV DON’T SETTLE FOR FOOL’S GOLD You wear that blindfold like it’s fool’s gold. In merriment, of excessive drink, the age-old predicament, a curse retold - ‘tis cold within your heart, unpatrolled by Holy Spirit. Lift up the golden leaf, unscrolled. Pages, let words mold to your lips. Be bold in exaltation lift. Fold your hands as you hit your knees; thus God will hand you manifold blessings. Close that centerfold - its wage is sevenfold-sin: the stronghold of pride, lust, greed, envy, sloth…ice cold gluttony and wrath. Take hold the undersold Word, uphold light. Does God withhold anything good? To be controlled with patient right, no need for scold nor scalding fire. Better to be enrolled - the wise fight to be paroled…nay…redeemed, foothold on solid ground with sound mind. Wait ‘til you behold Christ’s face, caroled with the saints. I told you so…heaven’s streets are solid gold. Take hold of an inheritance out of slavery…you are sold. Don’t stay white-washed, stone-cold sinners. Remold your life - believe the cross. Behold the resurrected Christ! 5/12/2022
