Tomorrow is not promised...

Usually at the end of a church service there is a call to salvation. Many times we pass up this opportunity expecting that we'll get another chance. How many people do you know, who have died and knew it was going to happen when it did? If you have felt the gentle tugging of the Lord when the minister has said, "last call!" or when he has said, "we'll wait about 30 seconds more, someone wants to come but is afraid", yet you allowed that time to elapse without taking that step, I admonish you to take heed...

A Poem inspired by the Lord...

30 seconds ‘til death do us part
(a call to salvation)

Yea though I stand at the door and knock
Will you open it, that I may enter
Seek Me now while I may be found
My Spirit will not strive forever

I came for you in the Winter
I returned for you in the Spring
Summer, though it came and went My friend
In the Fall, I knocked again

The seasons have passed but yet again
My friend your season is now
I beg of you, this offer in full bloom
Seek Me while I may be found

There behind your wall of frustration
Shutting Me out for eternal damnation
I Am coming once more in desperation
Before you choose your final destination

Know that this may be the last time I come
And that tomorrow is not promised to anyone
I Am willing to wait a few seconds more
I Am knocking My friend, please open the door

I cannot come in unless I Am invited
I will not impose My will

That no man would perish, though it pangs Me so
The choice must remain yours still

If you would now, accept this gift
Of life more abundantly
The angels in heaven will be rejoicing
Yet none more blissfully than Me

But if you choose to go astray
My child I’ll love you anyway
Just know I came to you this day
Longing just to hear you say
I take thee Lord, into my heart

My child, I ache to take thee too
As soon as you say “yes” to Me
To you I say “I do”

It’s not about being wrong or right, but
I haven’t much time left
The choice is a matter of life
It’s also a matter of “death”

But I need to know now
Will you take this vow
To Me will you rend your heart
I only have but 30 seconds more
30 seconds ‘til death do us part

Won’t you come???
