“Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the LORD.” - Isaiah 26:10
It’s much easier to swallow the little pink ones
the feeling is euphoric and her eyes see rainbows.
As the needle penetrates the skin
the pain is almost unrecognizable, then the burn hits the vein.
Enveloped in a cloud of smoke, the pipe falls from his hand
He laughs uncontrollably, and falls asleep again.
He buttons his shirt and straightens his tie as he walks to the door
leaving the folded bills on the nightstand, his ring falls to the floor.
They never meant for the gun to go off, the just needed the cash
but in their mirror blues and reds showed up, they threw away the stash.
Every one of them sit in church on Sunday, praise the Lord and raise their hands. The masquerade is complete in the shadows of those around them. The Holy Spirit cries out from within, and tears fall from the Savior’s eyes. The pain unbearable, His love gone to waste, thrown into the pit of lies and deception. They know the truth, yet deny it in their daily walk, choosing the lusts and desires of the enemy instead.
Does God love these children? Does God love you? Does God love me? Am I any different than those listed above? My sins are buried deep within, unknown, unseen and controlling despite my hearts intentions. They are different than above, but unrighteous none the less. We have all sinned, you can’t deny the truth of His word. Not one of us deserves the mercy and love from God, despite how incredibly disgusting or minimal your sin’s are. But, in an act of unbelievable compassion, God has provided His grace and made it available to all mankind. To those that profess His Son as Savior and Lord and repent (turn away) from their unrighteousness, His love is poured out in eternal life.
Every one of those mentioned above have this same opportunity, for a heart changing, life changing experience with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. God is there, arms open and waiting for them to make the choice to experience His abundant, overflowing love first hand. Do you know someone like this? If so, print this and give it to them; email it to them; share it, before the trip they’re on becomes a one way ticket.
Loving God,
You are majestic in Your glory and wonder. We lift our hands and praise You for the love You have given each of us. We bring our sins before You that we might be washed as white as snow through the blood of Your Son. We long to live within Your righteousness and serve You as You so deserve. Forgive me for the unrighteousness contained in my flesh. I ask for Your cleansing of my spirit Lord, to wipe away this thorn in my side. I trust that Your grace is enough for my callousness. In Your name I pray – Amen
