Why Should I

Why should I live my life according to the rules of man? Why should I continue this lie? Even if I advise you not to worry about your life, you might simply respond, "Why should I?" The soul of Jonathan was intertwined with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own. So, how about you? Do you want to be bound by human rules? Let me hear you say it now: "Why should I?" I know the thoughts I have toward you, says the Lord—thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I can anticipate the doubts that people will express in the streets this coming November, shouting, "Why should we adhere to the man in the white house for another four years Why should I?" Oh, how I cherish Your laws! How sweet are Your words to my taste, even sweeter than honey to my mouth. Have you experienced the goodness of the Lord? Some non-believers might readily ask, "Why should I?" The Holy Spirit will remind you of all that I have said to you. But then, why should I listen?

Great poetry and truths, Annie. Why should I listen ... to the world ... you shouldn't. To the Holy Spirit ... because it's the right thing to do and it is the truth. Smiles ~ Blessings, my friend. Bill
