Soft, shocking words from heaven

"I hope I hear these words often, I hope I listen even more"

He whispered, softly into my ear,
Not words of condemnation,
Or fear,
But that when he commanded
The earth to be,
And used
magnificent rocks -
He thought of my name;
When he splattered the skies
With stars, resembling my future,
He wanted it not to merely be
A beautiful analogy,
But actually come true.
But despite such a gentle tone
He kept a sobering punchline,
Hitting harder than any poem -
"So which is it?" he asked
"A - Do you choose life?,
Or B - do you choose death"
And with that,
I accepted the truth,
In one desperate breath.

I love this one
i don't know how i never read it before

Well
We all have our times
of seeking god
asking so many questions

and god whispers into us this life
and promise

that all will be well
and happy

its just a matter of faith and time

Beautiful description of God's love and our free will.

But that when he commanded
The earth to be,
And used
magnificent rocks -
He thought of my name;

Gorgeous imagery. Powerful...thank you for sharing.

Thank you...indeed, that "free will" is the elephant in the room, isn"t it?

Well written poem about conversion, marvellous yet still fresh in your heart.

When heaven speaks, we better listen. And I do not mean just with our ears, but with our heart, mind and soul. A prayer I will keep close to my heart.
