Topic: Sad (07/26/07)
I AM SAD FOR THE AFFAIRS OF MAN, WE HAVE TURNED OUR BACKS UPON OUR GOD.
INSTEAD OF SEARCHING IN THE SCRIPTURES, THE FATHER DONT EVEN GET A KNOD.
WE CLAIM SALVATION BY HIS GRACE, THEN LIVE OUR LIVES ON OUR OWN.
DONT EVEN HAVE A PLACE FOR GOD, IN OUR LIVES HE IS NOT ON A THRONE.
WE HAVE SET OUR SIGHTS ON RELIGION, SALVATION WE HAVE LEFT FAR BEHIND.
BROUGHT GOD DOWN TO OUR OWN LEVEL, LEFT OUT THE HOLY AND DEVINE.
GOD WILL NOT TAKE SECOND PLACE, IF HE AINT FIRST THEN HE IS NOT THERE.
HE CREATED EVERTHING THAT IS , SO I THINK THIS ONLY FAIR.
I WONDER DOES IT MAKE HIM SAD, A WORLD FULL OF IDOLS LIES AND DECEAT.
NO ONE SEARCHING FOR JESUS CHRIST, NOT EVEN WORRIED FOR THE JUDGEMENT SEAT.
I WONDER IF OUR GOD COULD CRY, HOW MANY TEARS HE SHED FOR ME.
WITH ALL MY DISOBEDIENCE, STILL JESUS SET ME FREE.
HAVE YOU SADDENED GOD WITH YOUR LIFE,A DISAPOINTMENT TO BE SURE.
JUST ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD, GOD THE FATHER THEN WILL COUNT AS PURE.
THEN GO OUT AND SHARE THE VICTORY, THAT ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN GIVE.
LET IT POUR OUT OF YOUR LIFE , AS THE SPIRIT HE DOES LIVE.

Did you mean to capitalize the whole essay? If felt the emotions expressed here but I was also off guard a little by the capitalization. I thought the concept was good a very true.

People will be more likely to stop and read this poem of witness if its format is more inviting--"all caps" is hard to read.

Be careful of spelling: I caught "deceit" and "divine".

Good job with encouraging your readers to find the One who will heal their sadness.

Good poem on the sad state of man. I agree with the comments - watch your spelling and formatting, but the message you brought out was a wonderful one. I too wonder how many tears God has shed over my disobedience.
