A two-edged sword honed in honor and in Truth.
One edge cuts swiftly and with precision to
the marrow of the sinner's bone.
This edge drips with the blood of sin;
and the sinner, forever unable to hide within
from the razor sharp steel of the Lord's judgement.
The other, laced with the fine sweetness
of the Lord's light and Grace,
illuminates the path of the child of God
on the spirit's journey through this mortal world.
Don't think to challenge, nor to duel with
this, His blade of immortal steel -
for what you find in your heart determines
the edge by which you shall be judged.
A righteous child will find only joy and Love -
but the sinner will find only darkness,
cold, and the endless abyss of hatred
surrounding him from which
he will never be freed.
Once the decision is made in the heart,
there is no turning back - the days
of forgiveness have been spent, the Lord's
kindness has been lent for your eternal score.
And to think that one can change
decisions made in rage - one more chance
to say, "I'm sorry, hear me Lord,"
will be offered in the end days of this life.
Those who have earned the divine beauty
of the spirit body, new and bright, need never
ask to be heard, for the Lord already knows
each word spoken in the heart -
directed heavenward, in earnest and in Truth.
That you understand the consequence of the
knowledge you have gained - be it good or be it dark.
He will touch you in the place where soul
lives and His light will forever guide your way
as you travel your path home, to His eternity.
