Your Destination

People tell me not to talk about politics or religion But religion is important to me I’m a Christian and I believe completely That Jesus died for me And I am saved because I believe I met a woman who said she, too, believed But there was something that she couldn’t see The Bible is true – it is truly God’s book Yet, she couldn’t see… how that could be? I told her I’d read it and it was God’s word It held the truth within its pages Where I’d met with my personal Savior And felt the touch of His spirit Guiding my reading, my feelings, my believing Still, she was skeptical and couldn’t be persuaded She told me I was wrong and wouldn’t even pray about it I told her, I couldn’t see how she could refuse to believe In a bible who revealed His will, His kindness and His love Without this book, the Bible, how would we even know About our wonderful Savior, the One who lives in my heart? She couldn’t answer my question and refused to listen Leaving me with only a shadow of doubt That her faith, her light, was all but gone out Without the Bible, God breathed, the Word How could we even know about the One who died And rose again… saving us from the darkness of sin? The Bible is God’s word and I believe it without reservation But I learned something by talking with this lady… Not everyone shares the same faith or destination!
