Life without or with GOD
Life without GOD is
A mire of confusion
Between the material
And the spiritual;
A well of unpredictable discontent
In a world that is transient and mutable;
Where beauty fades, fortune is fickle
Cravings futile and life is mortal.
Life without GOD is one which idolises man
It’s a competitive self-centred world
Devoid of understanding or compassion;
For many, a source of unending comparison and frustration.
Life without GOD is one without true elation,
A cauldron of resentment, envy and jealousy
A pit of hopelessness, despair and utter misery.
But life with God is a celebration
Of all that GOD is---omnipotent, infinite, immortal;
An Almighty and compassionate GOD who offers
HIS loving kindness and forgiveness without condition,
Solace and comfort in tribulation;
Gifts of wisdom, courage and strength to help one another,
An exhortation to love HIM and our neighbour;
To learn meekness and humility,
Leading to peace, joy and harmony.
