I prayed so for the
Lord to give me the words;
and confessed again
that we both knew that I was
writing it for the
right reasons,
to hopefully touch
someone's heart, for Him.
Before the Amen had
been spoken---
there was my
answer--- almost audible!
"Just
quote the verse"!
And that is just what I did!
So the four or more
good efforts for a last verse
went into the
trash. The poem that follows is the
result of our
"team work".
"You must
decide"
The preacher
said
Then he read
aloud the verse.
I jotted it down
on my bulletin
Then placed it
in my purse.
I stood for the
invitation,
And I sang along
as well;
Not thinking
about the words in the song
About
choosing--- Heaven or hell.
My afternoon
went by as always,
With my lunch, a
nap, some TV;
But as evening
came on, and night settled in,
A restlessness
came over me.
I picked up my
mystery novel,
After I was all
tucked in my bed,
But the book
could not hold my attention,
There were words
floating 'round in my head.
I decided to go
find that bulletin,
Then I searched
for a Bible to see,
Yes, the words I
had written said "Verse 16"
And the chapter
I wrote was "John 3".
After reading
that verse, my heart was so touched.
"Whosoever
believeth" meant ME !
I read two more
verses then fell to my knees
For the truth of
the words I could see!
John 3:18b ...
"he that
believeth not is condemned already."
Praise God, my
decision is now made, and
I can look
forward to eternal life with God.
Even now I can
enjoy a close relationship
with my Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
