Orlando - a poem

©asurerefuge.blogspot.com

2 shootings in Orlando, 

2 days in a row

first, Christina Grimmie,

then, those of the lbgt community

senseless, senseless, sad tragedies!

Does God know, does He care? 

That, we tend to ask or say...

Are we all alone on planet earth,

just chance existences
until our deaths? 

But of course, 

God does know, He does care...

Emmanuel is here, 

He is not far away

And no, oh no! 

We are not chance existence,

and not left on our own...
Created in God's image 

He wants to make us
His very own...

The question dear friends is not,

does God know and does He care,

For He does, without a doubt,

You see, for the mess of Sin 

we have put ourselves in

Jesus had already come

to save and to redeem...

The question dear friends is more rather; 

have you believed and received Him,

as Saviour and as Lord, 

living to love and to follow Him?

Jesus stands at the door of our lives,
He knocks and asks to enter in,

TODAY if you hear His voice,

open the door and let Him in,
for eternal security and life
are found only in Him

The thief (satan) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

(John 10:10)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

(John 3:16)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus...

(Romans 3:23,24)

And this is eternal life, that they may know You,the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 

(John 17:3)

Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

(Revelation 3:20)

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

(Revelation 21:4)
