Squandered

Squandered


You had the opportunity to talk with me every day and you chose not to.

You had the opportunity to speak to others about me and you chose not to.

You were part of a church that traveled all over and shared the gospel yet you chose to stay home.

You were more interested in your own selfish pursuits.

You occupied your time with things of this world instead of preparing for Heaven.

When you asked me into your heart you intended to do these things but somewhere along the way you forgot about me dying for you.

All I wanted from you was to talk every day and to share salvation with others.

Look at your life now and you will see there’s nothing you can do about the past.

But if you start today praying and spreading the gospel then not one more day will be squandered.

He has so much mercy to forgives us if we ask.. so much grace to give us when we do. so much love that he forgets that we ever sinned if only we ask him to.. loved your poem.. keep them coming...sandy

Please don't tell me I'm saved.
Martin Luther started that doctrin after some 1500 fifteen-hundred years of The Church. Luther the word ALONE to the bible he wrote.Saved by faith ALONE.His followers since have taken that word alone out of scripture.
Even Martin Luther said "we wouldn't have the bible if not for the Catholic church.
I think your poem is worth reading because God will judge us on our knowlage of Him

While I usually stay away for religious poetry on the whole, your poem made sense. I liked the way you showed the hypocrisy in the daily life of the average joe, and sometimes we need those kind of reminders, no matter where the reminder's coming from. Good write.

Good poem, makes you think.
