our names
all
originally written
into
the Book of Life
the days of our living
they ebb and flow
choices
are ours
His choice
was made known
before time began
He allows
our joys and sorrows
to remind us
always
that He is there
always
He is the loving
long-suffering
yearning
Father
the One with aching open arms
encouraging us
to make the choice
to keep our name
in that Book of Life
He never forces us
to choose
our greatest choice
the surrendering
and the kneeling
.................
Cj 2017
Our choosing must be done out of love, not fear.
God is pure love
Receive Him today,
Take His hand
make the choice
to walk...and kneel.
