"It's Your Choice"

Did you forget, or did you just resist,
To follow truth and let your soul be led?
Was it a lack of faith or devil's dread
That made you falter, fall into the mist?

The needs of flesh can lead the heart amiss,
To harden souls and leave them cold and dead.
Obeying Him, except the heart of men instead.
Yet God commands, and all things do persist.

But still, His voice calls out; we have the choice,
To turn from sin, to rise, and be restored.
Repentance sings; the humble hear its chord,
And grace can heal with just a whispered voice.

Oh, choose His light and let your spirit soar,
To dwell with Him in peace forevermore.

Spiritual Unsteadiness

Previous Poem written on 2020-08-30

Did you just forget or refuse to commit?

Was it a lack of knowledge or the Devil made you do it.

The needs of the flesh cause an unsteadiness.

You harden your heart which is a form of deadliness.

All God's creations do obey his command,

But the children of men tend to withstand.

They can repent and hearken to his voice

Restored by grace just by a simple choice.
