LIFE, WHAT IS IT?

LIFE, WHAT IS IT?

Is it just a collection of days that time devours and memories become a haze? It does not exist all alone, a vast Creation gives it an eternal home. What is its value to you, while some may just throw it away, the vast majority would give up all just to live another day!

Babies cry and old people sigh, who made this life and why, it must be a Creator who made Man and had a plan, did He also make pain and suffering with death to plague the Land? In the beginning Life made a choice, Love did not stand in the way, Life said; I will do what I want, I will say what I want to say, I will not listen to my Creator’s voice.

That day Sin was born, the whole earth and Creation did morn, Souls and hearts were torn, gone was the tranquility of the world’s first dawn. How great was the darkness that now lived in Man, brutality, cruelty ruled the Land. Men became as wild beasts, even offering their own children as sacrifices at their Idols feast.

Man chose death, a life of strife, today, its not much different from those many years ago when they used swords or the knife, today, one bomb can take a multitude of life. If this was the end of Life’s Story the Creator would be deprived of His Rightful Glory, down to earth He came, I Am is His Name.

Love was not to have his beloved Creation and those made in his own Image lost, but for them it came at the ultimate Cost. A God Man was the perfect sacrifice, no one else could pay that price. To all those who believe in Him he gives not only abundant Life but *Eternal too, Life then becomes brand new, worth living, giving, and forgiving.

*John 3:16

    Its always been a question in everyone's mind, for there is much
    to talk about and ponder. It was created then goes through all that cycle
    just to be destroyed and re made again...life. Well rhymed, well penned!

      Yes Meena I agree, from a blade of grass to the Atom, all miraculous with Life being the highest wonder.
      Mankind the only one possessing an awareness of self-being and drawn to worship something, the Creation, a Creator?
