The Trial of Our Lives 2
For I knew I had no escape route to take.
My adversary had succeeded this time in his assault.
To my redeemer I turned to.
To Jesus I faced once again.
My saviour, who I had wounded once more.
My advocate, whom I had scorned and disgraced through my acts.
*Shanu mi Jesu.*
*Have mercy on me and plead my case once more*
Offering my heart once more as his retainer fee.
For my worldly riches counted for naught before Him.
Fully convinced of my genuine repentance, my advocate rose up.
In His mighty voice, He outlined the case for my defence.
Citing His boundless love for me as grounds to void this summon.
Citing the presence of my genuine humility and godly sorrow as grounds for a quash.
Citing Micah 7:8-9 as a treatise upon which the devil's unlawful retaining rights be revoked.
Citing Ezekiel 33:10-12 as factual evidences wherein the judge HIMSELF established excellency of repentance over judgement.
Citing Ezekiel 18:32 as a factual evidence wherein the judge HIMSELF established His preference of life as opposed to death.
With these arguments, my salvation was sealed once more.
A pardon was issued by the God Almighty.
The testimonies of witnesses Lie and Hypocrisy were null.
The prosecutors case was thrown out.
Into my eyes my eyes, my advocate said.
*DO BETTER NOW MY CHILD*
