Judge NOT

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
By the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics, the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

And why's everyone so quiet, so somber?
Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He. "They're all in shock.
No one thought they'd see you."

God's Warrior · Good Won't Get You There

Good Won't Get You There

I'm standing there in front of gates like none I've ever found,
They shine like golden ribbons as they glide across the ground.

I see the stairs that never end how brilliantly they glow,
I start to climb and realize there's nothing down below.

Such purity was all around so it just had to be,
The day that would determine where I'd spend eternity.

Things moved very slowly but since I'd been good and kind,
I knew where I was going so I really didn't mind.

My turn had come to face the God but much to my surprise,
I didn't feel so confident when I looked in his eyes.

I felt his power all around and nothing was the same,
He opened up this book and asked me for my name?

He said, Where your name should appear there's just a vacancy,
I said, but God I've been so good please look again for me.

God closed the book and tiny angels wiped his tears away,
He said, I hope you'll understand what I'm about to say.

Do you recall that poor old man who asked you for a dime?
You hurried passed him and said you didn't have the time.

There also was a little child who wanted you to play,
Again you didn't have the time and pushed the child away.

You see, I came so many times but you turned me away,
So now I don't know who you are I'm sad for you today.

Without love in your heart you don't have any to give,
So being good is not enough, your Spirit must live.

Through tears I was escorted to my final destiny,
I had no one to blame at all except for one, ME.

Then suddenly a ringing sound completely filled my head,
I opened up my eyes and found that I was still in bed.

Through sweat and tears I realized how real our dreams could be, And then I wondered just how long that God would wait for me.

That night I gave my Heart and Soul away through prayer.

God proved to me with so much love.
