Poem, Monday, February 8, 2010

So for my birthday, I decided to post a poem I wrote a few days ago. I have not written poetry in years. Before that, I wrote constantly. I was greatly grieved by this the other day and wrote a poem finally. Perhaps there will be more poetry in my life for my 34th year.

You say you want a different life,
Crying and pleading for change,
But when the morning star rises the habitual sin remains.
The endless pit of unbelief and darkness,
A blessing from God turned to an addiction by the flesh,
All because of a lack of trust in God’s goodness.
Will He free you from this mess?
Does He want you saved?
Can you trust a God who has allowed so much?
He has freed you from so many things,
Rescued your very life from the grave,
So many times He has pulled you out of pits,
And yet you turn away again in this.
Another time of rejecting your very Savior,
Even though He has proven Himself worthy.
Will He do it again?
Can you trust Him with this?
Is he truly loving and forgiving?
