Impressed With The Creature!?!

I Was Impressed With The Creature
Until
I Came To Personally Know The Creator!

I Was Impressed With The Sight Of Earthly Mansions
Until 
I Learned Of And Then Couldn't Get My Mind Around
The Thought Of The Father's Many Mansions In Glory!
I Can't Even Visualize Glory!

I Was Impressed With The Idea Of Earthly Riches
Until 
I Realized That In Heaven 
I Shall Walk On Streets Of Gold!

I Was Impressed With The Pleasures Of Earth
Until 
I Understood That
The Things God Has Prepared For His People
Eye Has Not Seen
Ear Has Not Heard
And
To Put It Plainly
The Half Has Never Been Told!

When I Consider The Gift Of Eternity
Time On Earth Is Not Even A Jot!

When I Consider Life Eternal
The Life Of Sin Is Not Worth A Tittle!

When I Consider That I Shall Have Wings
Like The Eagle
The Jet-Setting Class Really Looks Shallow 
And 
Their Efforts To Impress Are, Indeed, Feeble!

I Am No Longer Impressed With Airs And Graces!
I Am Humbled That Jesus Christ Left Heavenly Places
To Come To Earth
To Live As I Live
To Show Me The Way To Righteously Live
So That I May Live In Eternity With Him!

I Have Sure And Secure Goals
And
If I Have To Walk On Coals
Go Down To The Depths Of The Sea
Cross The Desert Of Despair
And
Off My Head, Lose Every Hair
And
Ultimately Surrender The Only Life I Have To Give
At The Time Appointed
Eternity With Christ 
Is 
Where The Brethren Shall See Me!
The Lord's Gifts Are Not Given In A Sieve!

By His Grace, I Shall Not The Lord's Dear Name Disgrace!
I Am Choosing With Him To Take My Place!
I Am A Child, A Student, A Servant
And
I Am Laying Claim To My Gift Of Life Eternal
And
The Treasures That Lead Me Safely There
I Am Eagerly Unwrapping And Unpacking
And
To Get Known Sin Out Of My Life
Selfish, Self-Serving, Self, I Am Attacking
Because
With Jesus As My Help, My Hope
My Guardian, Guide, And Stay
No Gift Of Love
For My Good
For His Glory
Will I Ever By Lacking!

I Have Peace, Perfect Peace, With The Master 
Who Does Not Stint On The Blessings
Who Is Willing The Repentant Sinner To Forgive
Who Extends The Helping, Holy, Hand
To The Child Who Sees His Need
And
Who To, And Through, Green Pastures
His Obedient Sheep He Gently Leads!

Truth Be Now Told
I Am No Longer Impressed With Fallen Man Bold
Because
I Know ... For Real
The Holy Son Of God
The Creator
My God
The Soon-Returning King
The Loving Son Of Man!

Let's Walk Together, Brethren
To The Heavenly Land!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The CHOICE Is Yours!

Creature
On One Bright And Shining Day
Took Total Leave Of His Senses
AND
Said ... Boldly

Coldly:

I AM

And There Is None Else!

I Will Do What I Will Do!

I WAS Created ... BUT

I AM

Evolved!

I Have No Need Of A Master

Nor That Creator God

For

I AM 

My OWN Captain

I Shall Be AS God!

Creature Grew Gross
Vile
Contemptible
Usurping The Power Of The One God
AND
Notably Earning The Exclamation Appellations:

"Deceiver!"            
            "Liar!" 
                 "Fraud!"
                              "Wannabe God!"

Creature Threw His Weight Around!
He Wielded The Power Of The Air
AND
He Promulgated Potent Deceptions
AND
Caused Many Unsuspecting
To Call The True And Living
Eternal Creator Forgiving God
Mean-Spirited
Unkind
AND
Gratuitously Unfair
AND
He Did It All With Great Gusto And Flair!

Creature Made A Serious Miscalculation
Which Came About 

As A Result Of His Not Having
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Eternal Sight!

He Killed The Son Of God
Who Willingly Laid Down His Precious Life
AND
Readily Took It Back Up
AND
Is ALIVE ... Forevermore!

Creature Also Indulges In Scorched-Earth War
Against The Apple Of God's Eye
AND
He Takes Perverse Pleasure
In Seeing How Many Others
He Can Cause
Their Purchased Salvation To Wilfully Deny!

However You Dice And Slice It ...

The Day Is Coming
When Creature
- That Musician Profound -
Will Face Comeuppance
BECAUSE
Creature Neglected To Accept
Understand
Believe
That THE Creator
IS
The Everlasting Father
AND
Has The FINAL Say
AND
By His Own Counsel

In His Own Time
Will Distribute To All
That Are Known To Be
That Are Called Creature
Their Earned
AND
Sure To Be Paid
Final Rewards!

A Creature

Is Not

Will Not

Can Not Be

God!

Brethren,

Be Not A Foolish Creature
Indulging In
"I Don't Care!"
AND
Despising Your Creator
For
Soon Comes
Company Closed
Final Check Pay Day!

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!
AND
Foolishness Is Not Sense!
AND
Trusting In Your Own Self For Salvation
Is Sure To Place You
In That Lake Of Fire "Ants' Nest!"

Jesus Christ Saves!
The Living God Blesses!
AND
If You Will Turn Away From Walking Wrong
AND
With Broken 

AND

Contrite Heart
Your Sin Confess
Jesus Christ Will Save You
AND
You Will Be Forever Blessed!

Life Is Not A Fashion Show

But Is

A Commended Or Condemned

Choice-Is-Yours

Great Test!
