Time Running Out
“Look at this world”, He cried in vain.
“This place is really in need of a change.”
“Tear it down. Start all over again.”
“Like Tobacco Row. It’s filled with sin.”
So went the meeting in heaven.
Angels reporting on all the sin.
The Trinity trying to cope with it all.
They knew, from the start, it would fall.
Meanwhile, on earth, the lovers talked.
Made future plans while they walked.
They thought they had heaven on earth.
They were blind to corruption from birth.
It never dawned on them how bad it was.
They didn’t know about heaven above.
About the war between God & Satan.
The universe watching because it hates sin.
But, The Holy Spirit strived with their hearts.
They wanted more than just to not part.
They felt something was missing in their lives.
One day they went to church and came alive.
Their eyes were opened to the world around.
They were astounded at what they found.
Soon, they gave their hearts to the Lord.
They spread the Word to all their hoard.
Heaven rejoices over even one saved.
In the balances, they are weighed.
The Trinity doesn’t give up hope.
“Hold the winds of strife,” they spoke.
So, time goes on just a little longer.
Time for each of us to grow stronger.
Stronger in our faith in God.
To choose. Choosing life is not odd.—-R. W. Johnson—–(2015)
