Are you in the right house?  
Look inside yourself to see. . .
Which 'father' are you serving?  
The one of ******* or the one that's free?
Is it a house of pain or a house of peace
Are you considered one of the most or just one of the least?
Does your father love unconditionally or does he require works?
Are you His child no matter what or does condemnation lurk?
Just address your heart, is it heavy or is it sad?
Does what you do make him happy or do you just make him mad?
Does he ever ask you to work or to die for your sins, too?
Or does He love you so much that He came and died for you?
Can your house be replenished daily from His 'ocean of mercy' or His 'sea of grace'?
Or does he throw your problems back at you - constantly putting them in your face?
You'd better check your house, this would do your soul well. . .
You'd hate to get to eternity & find out your home is 'Hell'!
This is only one of a host of poems I've composed.  I'd greatly appreciate your input & suggestions for future references by a 'like' vote for my poetry.  And always remember, "there is strength from the struggle, this we all need to know!" Affirm to help someone who crosses your path today. . .
