Drink

We are not objective when it serves us. Weighing scripture carefully, thoughtfully. Yes, it hurts, it stabs with two-jagged sides. But, what is its worth? It gets all of us blasphemers, idol worshippers, adulterers, thieves, liars, coveters, pleasure-seekers and the lot. It hurts…it hurts. It helps, it moves us away from danger He saves us, heals us through purification of truth. We don’t want the angels circling, saying, “Woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth…” Instead, I’d rather be invited into His kingdom, oh how precious those jewels, those riches that we gave up in order to have it all. Guess what? You can have it all! Not the sad imitation, impression, bare bones, but the great euphoria of the highest heaven. We’ll bow. We will all bow. Some will bow in great delight. The rest, in great remorse. The test is now. It is not a trick. Right now, God is an open book. Take a look, long as if thirsty, unregrettably searching for that which you would sell all for. Don’t sell your soul to whoever you think your god is. Instead submit to the One who made you and longs to give you true and abiding everlasting love. Drink!

Of living water! Amen. Beautiful and true words my dear friend. My greatest regret in the first 80 years of life. Falling into temptation and believing the illusions of this world. Even after accepting His gift of eternal life, I still have not been all He intended me to be. It's all about our spiritual relationship, not the pleasures of this world. Thank for the reminder, Kim. Great poem / a FAV. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill
