God Doesn'T Replace Choice With Freedom

God doesn't replace choice with freedom, excluding me from that Heavenly kingdom; if I disobeyed...I'd forever lose this soul to woes! For my own sake, which one am I going to choose? I lived youth selfishly...denying that He existed, and He sought me when it was almost wasted; bells rang to atone me with their never-ending song, the organ played its sweet music to carry me along. God doesn't replace choice with freedom; I either immerse myself in the life-giving waters and allow the forgiveness of all committed sins, or simply die without ever learning wisdom.

"or simply die without ever learning wisdom."It would be a dreadful choice, Andrew, to die having never learned wisdom, for wisdom is the love source of life's mercy. Congratulations on your worthy poem's third place. Agape, Moses

When we try to live without God in our lives, we find little happiness, Andrew. Yes, God gives us the power of choice, but we must make the choice to accept Him in our lives. It's always so great to hear from you. You have a special, spiritual quality to your poetry that I find so uplifting. Love and blessings, Carolyn
