To see
the world in such a terrible way, and watch it continue to grow.
The lies all came in a different language,
that only evil could comprehend. Still when they spoke of who was at fault, the
truth they were quick to bend.
I thought why do the people who continue to do
evil always seem to get ahead. Then a voice that sounded like thunder spoke “they’re not living but walking dead.”
“They
may seem to you to have everything, and it may seem they are so alive within.
But the truth is they are empty and their spirit is dead with sin.”
Then an
image of their judgment came, there were many before God’s throne. All these
souls stood bewildered, they were shameful and so alone.
One by one, they all came before Him, and each
time it was the same. As Jesus opened His book of life, He just could not find
their name.
While I
stood there waiting for Him to accuse them, I was so shocked and so surprised.
As I saw the expression of a broken heart and my Jesus had tears in His eyes.
I just could not believe the pain He was
feeling, it was clearly not His desire. To see even one of these people He
created, be condemned to the lake of fire.
As I
watched each one pass into eternity, I felt hurt and so filthy inside. I tried
to be strong as I watched this judgment, but my pain I just could not hide.
There
was a time these people were winners, but now they are eternally lost. Sin had
promised them many things, yet in the end look, what it cost.
So I
realized what I would have to do, when evil would seem to get its way. I would
remind myself of the torment awaiting them, when they come to this judgment
day.
Then if
it seems like they are getting ahead and my anger again starts to rise, I will
think of my Saviors broken heart, and the tears that He had in His eyes.
