I should be fishin!! --But then ,I guess, I am!!

I wrote this the third, day when the family, went to the marina, and store.

Where, "Always, Right, Are you?
Where, "Judgment", where, "Blame"??

Where, "Sick, Sad, "World",

In, your, "End Times", game???


I should, be fishin,
Or relaxin, in my butterfly chair.


Than, even, just to, think of it.
I shouldn't really care.

But, as I sit here, on the boat.
The family, went to shore.


I, muse, and, contemplate;

How much like heaven,

this, really is.

His Peace, is in my mind,

His, Glorious, return,
I, anticipate.


And am reminded, of:
how little time is left.
For, those He called,
to get it right, to:
finally get it,
straight!


We're not meant to be,
the captains, of our fate,
or sit on "OUR LIFE'S"
thrown.

The King of Kings,

He waits for us,
the way, He has, us,
shown.

 

Those of us that know,

are to be grounded in, His,
Living, loving, Word,
and to our fellowman, SHOUT:

Wake up! and receive, the Good News,
Take it to your heart.

See, your own wretchedness,
It's where, we all must start.

 

And never forget,

that, even at your very best,

you always screw it,
up.
Let Jesus, and His cleansing power,
fill your empty,
cup.


For, somewhere, down the road,
in dream or reality.

I'm, going,
their suffering and moaning,
to, hear and,to,
see.

 

And if He turns, and asks:
Why didn't you tell them,

of this place?

Why didn't you tell them,

everything, about, eternal life, and, the way out,thru

Me?

 

I need to be able to answer,
even thru a wall of tears.
That I did my very best,
with all the years,
You graciously gave, to

me.


I see in their eyes, Father,
That they, might not, have heard,

it from me,
But, were told many times,
in loving ways, and,

bold.
They, chose, not to, obey,
what was,in,your Holy, Word,
told 


They chose not to hear,
they chose, in their stubborn hearts,
to, refuse to,

believe,
to, refuse,
to see!


It's just like in: Luke, chapter 16 
When a rich man ends up in hell,
and wants, God, to let Lazarus,

go back, and tell, the rich man's,
five brothers, of what awaits them,
if they, don't repent, of their evil ways.


The Lord answers thusly:
If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither, will they be persuaded,
if someone rises from the dead,
to tell them!!


NOW, is the Time!
Soon, twill, be too,
late.


If I were you, I'd make, darn sure!
Who's, gonna be there,

to welcome, and, to claim, me, at that, pearly, judgment,
gate.
