The Rains Fell

He warned them, but they did not listen. It came to him in a heavenly vision. He did not want one soul to perish. In the end, by their choice, so selfish. They mocked him and laughed. They thought they knew best. They didn't take heed. Or even believe! The time grew nearer. The Rains brought fear! Oh, they begged for the rain to stop, but God had had enough! The crying and screaming. Was the Lords dealing. Over the mountain tops, the waters rested. God's patience was patiently tested. So many died. If you asked, "Why? No one took Noahs advice. Silent One Contest Rain. 12/23/2015

You tackled this contest topic really well, Michael. Why do people have to suffer before they start believing? Blessed are those who believe without seeing! ~ Regards // paul

Thank you Paul so true. I've written about GMO's and all the terrible things they are up to and most don't seem to care. It is sad when people don't listen and prepare. History repeats itself. It is a sad reality my friend.
