My friend, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink,
And so you can fill a man with wisdom, but he can't eternally think.

He can have eyes like both you and I and see colors of every kind,
But point him to the things above and he is often spiritually blind.

Many men listen to and even heed the advice given by a fellow peer,
But speak to them The Word of God and they will not be able to hear.

It seemed so easy for you and me, so why yet have they not believed?
Christ may seem obvious to you and me but friend they are deceived.

For the god of this world has blinded the minds of those perishing,
And unless we speak God's Truth Satan's lies will keep flourishing.

They perish because they refuse to embrace the Truth and be saved,
So God has given them over to their lusts to become utterly depraved.

But we can't be hasty and forget the life which we were saved from,
And how someone cared and pointed us to The Kingdom soon to come.

For we were all born into this world of sin where wrong seems right,
Led by our old nature we lived in darkness as children of the night.

But by God's Grace, The Spirit came upon us and gave us new sight.
And we were saved out of that darkness and brought into His Light.

For it is by the power of The Blood that we are no longer deceived,
And by His Grace we were then given ears to hear and truly believed.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation, Bob Gott

Thank you very much Joyce,
As that is why I believed God had me start posting my poems, which really come from Him, and why I believe He continues to give me new poems. ALL For His Glory.

God Bless You Joyce

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared
To all men.  It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and
Worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and
Godly lives in this present age,  while we wait for The
Blessed Hope--the glorious appearing of our great God
And Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to
Redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself
A people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."
(Titus 2:11-14 )

Thankfully He seeks our heart, and offers His saving Grace.

(big angel hugs) Oh Bob, it saddens me to see so many not direcrly embrace the Truth and deceive others with its proper practice, sweet friend, I only pray we can all find ourselves understanding The Blood again and inject it to ourselves, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
