I have lived the life of a king and been humbled as a peasant.
I have wandered the halls of the insane and shared with others in chains.
I have won and I have lost. I have lied and I have stolen.
I have repented and I have been forgiven.
I have made good decisions and I have made bad choices.
I have scorned love and I have chased lust.
I have polluted my body and I have been baptized in His Holy Water.
I have done many things, most of which I am proud & grateful for.
I have cried and I have laughed. I have spoken and I have listened.
I have fought but never surrendered. I have killed but never murdered.
I have worried and I have been drunk.
I have problems for which there seems no solution.
I have written with no one to read.
I have dreamed of a better place a better time.
I do not have all the answers, no one does.
I cannot tell the future, that is someone else’s lies.
But I can perceive hell and I can ponder Heaven’s Glory, & this Glory is all that’s left after all is gone.
For what is a man but his memories and the memories he leaves behind.
Some will say our destiny is sealed and our fate rests with God. But scripture tells us God gives us choice.
And we know satan spoils & confuses us and often we make the wrong choice.
We hope and pray to learn from these mistakes.
God does not wish us harm…but satan does.
Why do I say this? A simple question to answer.
We were created in God’s image. That being the case and the fact satan hates God, it is no wonder he tempts us & diseases us & kills our loved ones all in an effort to make us question and turn from God and be less of His Holy Image.
I told you it was a simple question to answer, didn’t I.
One last thing to chew on. How do you think a cave man would feel if he suddenly came back to life in today’s world?
Another simple answer…he’d think he had died…& went to Heaven!
Think about it…I have.
