The Book of Life

The Book Of Life

In The book of life, the GODS" have written, all the good
things and the bad things that will come. They also wrote 
the LAWS of everafter. 
 
How I wish - I could erase, from that old book - all the bad 
things that are written for me and add the good ones to the 
ones that are written for you.

In the book of life, there are many things that we have done.
Some are good and some are bad. The bad things - we want
to forget, but they have been written and can not be erased.
You wonder - did I do more good, or did I do more bad? 

We don't know, but there is a JUDGE that will judge us all
and only He is the one that knows. He might decide to erase 
the bad, for one good thing that you once did, but we don't
know.

Well now you know, that there is a book being written about
your life. It is being written as you live. So just be careful of how 
you live, because one day your book He'll read. Only then He will
decide - if you lived wrong, or if you lived right...

Poet Tacito April 4, 2013 at 8:52 AM Quite a set of strong lines here. Tremendous message!

Eileen Manassian April 4, 2013 at 3:24 AM Wow! This is a thought provoking read. There is a Book of Life...That is where the named of those who have accepted Jesus and live according to His will are recorded. In the end, my dear...even though we want to do good, we sometimes fail. The beautiful thing about the Judge is that He is also our Advocate and He forgives us when we as! He helps us to do good. Fantastic write, my dear. God bless you for sharing!

Russell Sivey April 3, 2013 at 10:05 PM Yes, this book of life, I wonder myself how much good is written in it, I hope that it is a lot so the Lord could be proud of my accomplishments here on Earth...so He wouldn't have to be ashamed of me! But through Him my life looks positive, but only through Him is my book good. For only He can erase the sin from the book of life! I enjoyed your masterful poem this evening! Thank you for sharing this delightful piece! Great Work!!
