\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Time Running Out<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLook at this world\u201d, He cried in vain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis place is really in need of a change.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTear it down. Start all over again.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLike Tobacco Row. It\u2019s filled with sin.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So went the meeting in heaven.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Angels reporting on all the sin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trinity trying to cope with it all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They knew, from the start, it would fall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on earth, the lovers talked.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Made future plans while they walked.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They thought they had heaven on earth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were blind to corruption from birth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It never dawned on them how bad it was.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t know about heaven above.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

About the war between God & Satan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The universe watching because it hates sin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, The Holy Spirit strived with their hearts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They wanted more than just to not part.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They felt something was missing in their lives.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One day they went to church and came alive.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their eyes were opened to the world around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were astounded at what they found.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon, they gave their hearts to the Lord.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They spread the Word to all their hoard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heaven rejoices over even one saved.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the balances, they are weighed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trinity doesn\u2019t give up hope.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHold the winds of strife,\u201d they spoke.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So, time goes on just a little longer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time for each of us to grow stronger.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stronger in our faith in God.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To choose. Choosing life is not odd.—-R. W. Johnson—–(2015)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
