dilemma of ages
i feel . . . ,
i was tossed into
this earth,
no questions,
asked,
just found myself on
planet earth,
given a choice,
i would have,
voted a resounding,
no
don't want any part
of it,
do you?
don't wanna be a part
of,
any of it,
as when biblical Job
said,
"i wish i hadn't been born,"
y'know,
maybe i'm a coward,
so be it
as for the future,
at my death,
my passing,
as they say,
into the next existence
i fall,
yes,
as i was born,
i inherently know,
i will be tossed into
into another existence,
without my will
or choice
i wonder,
why was i born
to be who i am
why
why wasn't i born
to be someone else
i inherently know that
my consciousness
is unique
or is it?
is my dna unique
i know it is scientifically
speaking
or is it?
of the billions on earth
and billions more
who have previously lived
how can i be unique
to GOD?
why was i born
at a specific location
and at a specific spot
on earth?
why me and not someone else?
why my particular set of parents?
i've asked myself
for many years prior
who am i?
where did i come from
where am i going
and why?
tossed into,
a planet earth?
better?
or worse . . .
rather frightful isn't it?
. . . what will it be?
will it be another disappointment?
will it be pleasing
to me?
or will it be an inferno?
. . i searched many religions
and found none,
i found The LORD
he is Truth
he is Love
he is creator of all things
i do not wish
to offend the LORD
because i know that he IS,
i apologize LORD
because i fear,
i respect you
i know you won't destroy
me
for asking,
why the guilt then?
simple questions
maybe answers will never
be given
maybe not for us to know
i wonder . . .
. . . knowing that there is a heaven
and a hell
i simply acquiesce.
submitting to him
and to the truths
truth is real,
despite what pontious pilate asked
of jesus,
"what is truth,"
we all know what a lie is,
we all know truth
even you pontious knew it . . .
i have learned from the bible,
i am helpless
i know
at his mercy
many questions
i expect
will never be answered
this side of glory
i fall into his omnipotence
and omniscience
faith now takes command
i am a vessel
like a piece of terra cotta
was fashioned by him,
the creator
the master,
for what purpose am i to be used?
the purpose is now,
no brainer,
just as any human vessel
fashioned,
used for any purpose
whether good or bad
i am fashioned
for the
LORD'S
purpose
i know this much
therefore,
i submit,
whether good or bad,
in my case,
'cause
i know him,
it is for the good
he has saved me
from the theory
the lie actually,
which i have learned
is but a lie from satan,
our human enemy,
he has saved me
from physical harm
on countless occassions,
he is my friend,
my LORD
and my GOD
whether i understand
myriad questions
swirling around all of us,
or not,
i inherently realize
answers to age old
questions
will not
are not intended
to be answered
by GOD
at this time
down on my knees,
in servitude
and love,
'cause
i have grown to know him
i simply
live
i live for his truth,
his righteousness
and his being
after all
i know that
he is
GOD
