A Couple of Tries

I am not a poet and I know it. 
Be that as it may, perusing an old flash drive, I found a couple of tries of mine from at least a decade ago. 

Why?
Once upon a time, there was a woman who lived in a comfortable house.
She had many, many blessings but to her not much clout. 
One busy day she questioned why it was that prosperity had been such a flirt.
And so, frustrated and pondering, she filled the tub with jeans and shirts.
Licking her wounds and applying pity to her hurts,
All of a sudden from her own mouth came a blurt —
I just want to succeed, at something!
Hardly before her words fell on her ears, came His gentle but oh
so poignant probes.
Why Little Girl? Do you know? Why for success you are craving so?
Her tears began to flow as she saw what she had not seen before.
He had measured her recognition and her gain;
He had His reasons for those tiny downpours!

Sighing the Little Girl ceased to lament;
Glory, Hallelujah! She believed Abba’s love and now she’s content.

Under the Blood
I worried when you first for Heaven departed:
because my words to you were not always kind-hearted. 
And as memories attacked my mind, my chest joined in 
and heaved and heaved — it was so very hard to breathe.
What? What did you say with that voice so familiar, gentle
and kind?
It’s under the Blood, my Little One, came the reply.
All those coulda, woulda, shoulda HE our Savior, has washed away.
All is well, I love you too. So stop your fretting, this isn’t about me, or
you.
Yet I must say, I am enjoying this Eternity, and I want you to love JESUS even more dearly.
You know that here, a thousand years are as a day.
So I’ll see you in a moment — now put away all your dismay.
All is under the Blood and that my Little One is where it will stay — forever, and ever says our Loving Father, Yahweh.

This is an unusual post for me.
It is not directed at my brothers and sisters; it is offered to those who have made that common accusation, that GOD sends people to hell.

David penned in Psalm 51

(5) True, I was born guilty,
was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me. source

David is acknowledging here what is the truth. 
We are born sinners. 
What does that mean exactly?

That we each and every one of us are sinners — there is NONE righteous, no not one. (Romans 3:10)

It means we, each of us, are born on the road to hell.
Moreover, through the course of our lives, GOD intervenes, He puts up roadblocks, He brings people into our lives with the Good News of the Gospel that JESUS is alive to save us and desires to save us; He arranges for us to hear songs, sermons, see Scripture Passages – all these things come into our lives. And we even have creation itself to witness to us that we have a Creator. Creation invites us to look and see GOD.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,  source

Warning signs.
Flashing Lights.
Roadblocks. 
The Execution Stake
An Empty Tomb!

And people ignore them, go around them, jump over them, and one day they die.
They die on that road to hell. It is their destination; it is the road they refused all their life to get off of.
The Road that JESUS came and met them on and they said, “no, thank You.”

At our deaths, GOD has no choice; His holiness, His love, His mercy, His Justice MUST honor our decisions.

Hell is the place HE tried to keep you out of BUT you refused. 
Hell was not made for YOU but it will open for you if you insist. (See Matthew 25:41)

It’s as simple as that.
