Best Poem in the World

[Saint]

I was shocked, confused, bewildered

As I entered Heaven's door,

Not by the beauty of it all,

Nor 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 and 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.

Bob, who I thought

Was rotting 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 is everyone so quiet,

So somber-- give me a clue."

" Hush child," He said, " They're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you ."

JUDGE NOT ! !

Remember .....Just going to church doesn't make you a

Christian any more than standing in your garage makes

you a car.

EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST.........

EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE !

Now it's your turn.......Share this poem.

Life without God is

like an unsharpened pencil

It has no point !

Ever hear of forgiveness.....think about it and try it

[Danan]

Especially for those who think that showing up in church and tiething is enough.

Who am I to judge? (not me)!

How about "We're all going to Hell because none of us deserves to go anywhere else!" Then there's that grace and undeserved forgiveness clause that Jesus Christ paid the price on.

Luke 5:32

Luke 23:40 - 43

One of the greatest lessona I have learned is that everyone has a story. Usually we don't know both sides..If I take the time to remember my shortcomings, it becomes very easy to dismiss others shortcomings. God is truly the only one that knows the whole story, as the searcher of hearts.

God is so good that salvation is available by doing one thing, confessing Romans 10:9,10.
