"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER MIGHT BELIEVE IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."                                                                                                             John 3:16\

                                           (What don't we understand here)

There are some things that I just don't understand, 'Bout the ways of God and the ways of Man; Such as why some choose to live in the light, And others choose to rail and to fight, Against a Father Who's love is sure, His intentions made clear through actions pure; For both God and Satan are tried and true, By the things they say and the things they do. Why cling to a master you must serve in fear; One filled with hate spreading pain far and near; Who wants only destruction of all that is good, And death's the reward of any who would, Do his bidding and serve him, I don't understand, For that's nowhere near what my God has planned, For a world He created in joy and in love, And filled it with beauty below and above; Creating a masterpiece of beauty and life, For His pleasure and comp'ny, not meant for strife. He wants the closeness of Father and Child. I don't understand how we were beguiled, By a smooth talking sneak filled with hate, lust and greed. The track record's clear what more do you need.

One thing for sure Satan is no dummy when it comes to using deception and presenting a pretty picture of sin. He can make a person think what they are doing is great. Sad isn't it. I enjoyed reading your work. We have read the whole book and we know the ending for Satan and all his staff. Sara

I choose to live in love and light, I don't like fighting, guess I'm more of a pacifist, I try and avoid conflict as much as I can, and God is my comfort and my savior. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful poem full of altruistic messages. Peace & Love

John 3:16 was the first bible verse I ever learned. I think all children should be be taught to love the Lord from a very early age. Then fewer people would stray. I feel as Andrea, that these are the last days. A wonderful poem, Judy.

the devil is in full scale motion now with the Pandemic and the propanda leading to New World Order. It's very strange to me seeing the last days unfolding!! I've never been all that religious but I think it's pretty easy to see good vs. evil these days.

One answer may come from Isaiah's verses 45: 5-7 dearest Judy . The other would be that since the Lord has created this world wisely it means this world is the best he could create. From this follows that God has allowed the manifestation of evil which occurs only when we cannot balance the opposite forces in our soul , when we fail to achieve harmony. God of course, provides us the precepts to achieve harmony but he doesn't force us since we are part of him, see Genesis! Blessings! Our duty is to follow the path He indicates and not to question the existence of the path! Love xxx

God gave us free will. He created us for Him, but if we chose to reject Him, then it is our fault. ~~
