"THE LORD WIll Judge Us"(Poem #5)

     Hello once again, my dear friends. I took a small sabbatical to recharge my batteries after the passing of my step grandmother, Dottie Peace. I knew her as MeMaw. She never called me step grandson, it was always grandson. She accepted me as her own and I'll never forget that. I mourn because I miss her. I cheer because she's in HEAVEN with JESUS. What a wonderful day that will be.

     Now it's time for the next poem in the series. If you've read my testimony(if not, check it out. It's titled, "No Time To Panic!"), then you know I started writing CHRISTian poetry back in January 2003 and am still writing today. So with this ongoing blog titled, THE "LIGHT" WORDS, I started cataloging my poetry that GOD laid upon my heart. If you noticed the dates, this would be 5 poems written in January. They just came pouring out(after the Holy Spirit poured inside of me).

     I've noticed that a lot of the poems are meant for me as well as others. I've written some that I knew didn't relate to me(and was still BLESSED by them), but GOD meant them for someone or they wouldn't be on paper, read in churches or posted in blogs.(And I have some small sermons/teachings in the works also, that I've never had on paper, read in churches or posted in blogs. I can't wait to share them.). So without further ado(wait, didn't we do that last time?)...

"The LORD Will Judge Us"

I could go straight to bed and dream all night long
About hurting the ones who've done me so wrong
I could hold grudges for the rest of my days
And never forgive them and hope they all pay

But I'm not the judge, I don't have the say
Because only THE LORD will judge us one day
Look in John Chapter Five, in Verse Twenty-Two
Only GOD'S SON will judge me and judge you

Read in Acts Chapter Ten, in Verse Forty-Two
That JESUS will judge and learn what HE'LL do
HE'LL judge all the living, HE'LL judge all the dead
So believe in THE BIBLE and all that it says

Once I die in this world, I'll open my eyes
And stand before JESUS and HE will decide
To send me to HEAVEN or send me to hell
The only two places a soul ever dwells

It's one or the other, there's no in between
There's no way around it, we will meet THE KING
And once HE decides, you can never turn back
HIS decision is final, it's a BIBLICAL fact

The sheep on the right hand will be with THE LORD
Forever in HEAVEN, it's the greatest reward!
But the goats on the left will be cast into flame
Forever in torture, forever in pain

So let go of revenge, let go of your hate
Don't be judgmental, give JESUS your Faith
To forgive everyone is so hard to do
But forgive them you must and HE'LL forgive you

     Sometimes it's so easy to write the words about hell and what will happen there. But if we actually picture it, it's horrible beyond words. We definitely wouldn't joke about it. How many times have you heard an unsaved person joke about it being a party with the rest of the unsaved? It won't be a party! It's torture and torment. For Eternity. FOR ETERNITY!

     I pray that if you're not saved, that you will take the time to find Romans 10:9-13 in the Bible and read it and accept JESUS CHRIST as your personal SAVIOR today, before it's ETERNALLY too late. Or find a BIBLE BELIEVING, JESUS teaching CHURCH this week and learn all you can.

     If reading this leads you to being saved, please share it with me. I would to love hear about it!
So until next time, continue to use THE "LIGHT" WORDS!

"Talking With GOD"(Poem #4)

     Hello Faithful Friends. I'm so glad you showed up for another installment of THE "LIGHT" WORDS. If you are here for the very first time, I'm glad you were able to come find this. I hope you hang around and became a Faithful Friend. I'm listing poems here that I started writing over 10 years ago and continue writing to this day. In order(And sometime in the near future, some short readable sermons). Hopefully it will show my growth and different writing styles and perspectives from when I started back on January 3, 2003 to where I'm at now. So without further ado(I first thought it was adieu until I looked it up. Adieu means farewell. That wouldn't be good to tell you bye when we haven't even started yet. Now the word ado doesn't look as fancy as adieu, but it will have to, uh, a-do):

     TALKING WITH GOD

I'm talking with GOD when you see me in prayer
HE listens to me and shows me HE cares
By BLESSING this life HE holds in HIS hands
And teaching me life when I don't understand

I'm talking with GOD when a new day begins
I pray that HE guides me past all of the sin
GOD knows I'm not perfect and sometimes I fall
But I know GOD forgives me when HE hears my call

For GOD was made flesh in a miracle birth
GOD became JESUS and walked on this Earth
HE knows what it's like to walk by my side
HE bore all my sins on the Cross, then HE died

Therefore, GOD knows about all of my fears
HE'S endured all my pain, HE'S felt all my tears
HE left all the comforts of HEAVEN above
To experience my life, to show me HIS LOVE

Then after three days, HE arose from the grave
And went back to HEAVEN to prepare me a place
Where there's no more sorrow, no more crying
Where there's no more pain and no more dying

There will be no more darkness, no more night
And no need for the sun, for THE LORD giveth LIGHT
Living in HEAVEN for ETERNITY
I'll be talking with GOD, HE'LL be talking with me

But, I won't be alone, as the BIBLE doth tell
All the saved will see HEAVEN, all the rest will see Hell
So, if you're not saved, how long will you wait?
Start talking with GOD before it's too late

     So please tell someone you love about JESUS today(Romans 10:9-13). What a wonderful BLESSING it is to lead someone to CHRIST. It never gets old! Have a BLESSED day and keep using THE "LIGHT" WORDS today. I bid you "adieu." 8-)
