Hard hitting and bible based. Good work.

Like a wayward soul abandoned, 
to fend for herself and child,
 people today can’t find their way
on the path that’s called “exiled.”

To think that man has answers
for a mystery as old as time,
is like trying to find an answer
for the chicken and egg in rhyme.

Yet, we go on living
in chaos like never before.
Still searching for the answer …
behind some cryptic door.

Questions that beg echoes of trust 
may hardly ever be found,   
through open doors, tucked in drawers,
or scribbled down in verb and noun.

Shadow answers, whispered treasure, 
riches wrest, unwilling from ground.
By shrunken souls lost in the tinge of time, 
in a hope that doesn’t look around.

While, each day world confusion chokes 
             man’s efforts to rule. 
      Yet, doesn’t anyone discern 
    religions embarking at low tide?
          Or, perceive that God’s Kingdom‘s,   
             when mentioned, faces ridicule?

[Jesus foretold, that true Christians would be few
in number, and hated and persecuted.] 
 
(Matt. 7: 13,14  “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. 
Matt. 24:9  “People will hand you over to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.”  
 

Thank you for posting. It's an attention grabber! lenjomc

It is truly puzzling that a powerful presence on the world scene could see these these peaceful, Christians, as harmful, while the remainder of the world knows them as harmless. lenjomc 

How true, at the deepest level. lenjomc

Does the Bible clearly show Jehovah's view? Yes, it does.

Could others seeing our tattoos be stumbled or affected negatively? Yes, it's possible.

The rest lays in the heart of each individual. It's easy for us older ones. However, may as many younger brothers and sisters as possible see Eoin's timely post. And, thank you for posting. lenjomc

As To Judge And Forgive

With hearts found flawed in forgiving,
resulting in only cold stares, 
through eyes we know are born in sin,
so wayward, in they have been wronged.

Yet, we know the hand of God has 
made us. Just as it has also
made others. But, the Old World sees
a difference, when it does hand out 

what is the very best it has
to each and every one of us.
So, can we really look for bad
in others, and judge as we do?

And know badness dwells in us too,
after the ransomed Godly love 
has poured equally to all mankind.
Though, aware we’re not forgiving

or, too quick to point out others?
It’s time we prayed on our own    
imperfections, as others do.
It is true Christianity.

God’s perfect organization,
is full of man’s imperfections.
Yet, man’s not here to judge others,
but just to love them and forgive .

It’s how to show obedience;
how we prove Satan’s a liar.
For Satan said, “God couldn’t put
men on this earth who’d prove faithful."  

While Almighty God is the judge.
Or, those he’s selected to be.
It grants there’s no power on this earth
to propose that mankind should judge.

Or, a hint or space to be found 
for a person to judge them self.
For this is not Jehovah’s way, 
as surely as is, 
                                  “We must forgive!”
