Inflexible Judgement

I like to think that God
does not keep a ledger
of our names, like a banker

recording checks and balances...

seeing us more as gains and 
loses~ whether our funds
well allotted or indulged in
rotting teeth! 
                    Not that God
did not create sugar, loving
to treat, but he also gave us
hands and feet to use wisely. 

And hearts to know the power of love,

tough when necessary. Hunger
can be a blessing...fasting, a rightest cause, 
and children, at times a heavy burden He shares. 

Heaven is where we meet forgiveness...

And hell our own inflexible judgment.
