I had on new clothes, new sneaks on my feet. I was there for class on time, went to the back and took my seat. Yeah im moving up, Im already grown. Soon I'll be graduating, And out on my own. I talked to some of my freinds, we were all having fun. Said some things i shouldnt have said, did somethings i shouldnt have done. I knew I was different. I felt God touch my heart, i knew i should set a standard, but then id be set apart. Walking to the bus, I was looking for strenghth. I heard the car tires screeching, but now its too late. Im standing in this room, and i can see the heavenly gate. Oh No! I never prayed. I thought i had time to get it straight. An angel walked to me, had a book in his hand. I knew it was the book of life, when would this dream end? I told him my name, and he began to look. The he looked at me sadly and said, your name is not in the book. Angel, this is a dream, No i cant be dead! He closed the book and turned away, he whipspered-you cannot proceed ahead. No...no this cant be real. Angel you cant turn me away. Let me talk to God, maybe he'll let me stay. He led me to the gate, Jesus came to me. He did not let me in but said, beloved what is your need? Jesus i cried, please, dont cast me away from you. Tears ran down my face as he said, you knew what you needed to do. Lord please im young, i never thought i would have to die. I though id have plenty of time, death caught me by suprise. Lord i went to church, please Jesus, I believe. He said you would not accept me, my love you would not recieve. Lord, there were too many hypocrites, they werent being true. He took a step back and asked what does this habe to do with you? Lors my family claimed to be saced, they werent real. You know , he said I died for you, now i have to go. I fell to my knees crying to Him, Lord i planned to be real. I couldnt, make him understand. I had never---flet such sorrow. Then it hit me hard i said, Lord where will I go? he looked me into the eyes and said my child you already know. Please Jesus, I begged, this place is so hot. It seemed to trounle and grieve him. He whispered, DEPART FROM ME I KNOW YOU NOT. Lord youre suppsoe to be love, how can you send me to damnation? He replied, with your mouth you said you loved me, but each day you rejected my slavation. With that in an instant day truned into nite. I never knew such torture could be, not too late, i know the Blible is rite. If I can tell you anything, Hell had no age. Its is a place seperated form God and full of rage. You know, i thought it was funny--a joke, but this one thing is true. If you never accept Jesus Christ, Hell is waiting for you.
ok that last line is a bit scary that if you doubt for a second before death you are pretty much damned to hell....hmm i dont like that.....
While i read it i was thinking first off how it was good to try and get people to Christ but i dont know i almost feel that they portray God in such a almost mean way that would not turn me on to being christian. also i think that sometimes we try so hard to get people to believe and have faith that its too much and its overwhelming but thats just how I see it. Some people have the rite approach...but what exactly is the rite approach? Is it someone forcing God into your life, someone showing you the way by worship music. How do you think people should lead people to Christ? Are some people to pushy? how do you feel things like this should be handled? Do you think that the more forceful you are in leading people to the Lord that will bring them closer faster or do you think the slow easy approach is the way to really let the person try and understand God? i would love to hear everyones opinions on this so if you would email me @ Hippiechik182@mediaone.net thats the best place to email me so please email me and tell me what you think. I can post things on the net on your specific page so we have something under those empty blank names. Also anything else you want to add Email me and i will add it!
