Rejected or Redeemed

>>> The Thief to His Left, Rejected, but the Thief to His Right, Redeemed <<<

Rejected or Esteemed
By Arley Steinhour 071817

In every man’s life, comes Strife,
The kind that would Rend the Heart,
Exacerbation, to the Ending of Life,
But, with Guidance, a Strengthening Part.

So many Souls, go into Perdition,
Even, though, they lived a Clean Life,
All depending upon their Life Mission,
As an ‘Independent,’ or as ‘Jesus’ Wife.’

Look at the Life Tracks, the feet have made,
Are they ‘Pock-Marked’ and hard to Read,
Perhaps they’ve taken a ‘Mortal Charade,’
Or, Christ Followed, in ‘Thought, Word, and Deed.’

Mortal life, is as Long, or Short, of Happenstance,
Christ, Does Not, Rescue, upon Demand,
At the Age of Accountability, Man Dances with Chance,
As Prior Life, is Innocence, at God’s Command.

Look to your Future, into ‘What lies Ahead,’
However long, or short that may be,
Are you, ‘Spiritually Vibrant, or Eternally, Dead,’
Your Actions in mortality, are what others will See.

Claim your Redemption, from Apex of Mountain,
Shout to the Winds, How, you’ve been Redeemed,
Look to the Heavens, ‘Seek Redemption’s Fountain,’
It’s there, ‘You’ll be, Eternally, Rejected, or Esteemed.’

The answer lies within your Heart,
‘Do I Follow Jesus, or, Simply Believe,’
There-in the Choice, of ‘Doing your Part,’
‘Am I Redeemed, or Family Bereaved?’

AMEN
