I recieved this poem in an e-mail from a close friend and wanted to share it with everyone because I thought it was a great poem, so ENJOY! Hell Is Real ~Anonymous I went into my classroom, Ready for another year at school. I didn't want the work, Just wanted to hang and be cool. I had on new clothes, New sneaks on my feet. I was there for class on time, Went to the back and took my seat. Yeah, I'm moving up, I'm already grown. Soon I'll be graduating, 'N out on my own. I talked to some of my friends, We were all having fun. Said some things I shouldn't have said, Did stuff I shouldn't have done. I knew I was different. I felt God touch my heart, I knew I should set a standard, But then I'd be set apart. Walking to the bus, I was not looking for strength. I heard the car tires screeching, But now it's too late. I'm standing in this room, And I can see the heavenly gate. Oh no! I never prayed. I thought I had time to get it straight. An angel walked to me, He had a book in his hand. I knew it was the Book of Life, When would this dream end? I told him my name, And he began to look. Then he looked at me sadly and said, Your name is not in this book. Angel, this is a dream, No, I can't be dead! He closed the book and turned away, He whispered - You cannot proceed ahead. No...no this can't be real, Angel, you can't turn me away. Let me talk to God, Maybe he'll let me stay. He led me to the gate, Jesus came to me. He did not let me in but said, Beloved what is your need? Jesus, I cried, please, Don't cast me away from you. Tears ran down his face as he said, You knew what you needed to do. Lord, please I'm young, I never thought I would die. I thought I'd have plenty of time, Death caught me by surprise. Lord, I went to church, Please Jesus, I believe. He said you would not accept me, My love you would not receive. Lord, there were to many hypocrites, They weren't being true. He took a step back and asked, What does that have to do with you? Lord, my family claimed to be saved, They weren't real. You know. He said, I died for you, Now I have to go. I fell to my knees crying to Him, Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow. I couldn't, make Him understand, I had never -- felt such sorrow. Then it hit me hard, I said, Lord, where will I go? He looked into my eyes n said, My child you already know. Please Jesus, I begged, The place is so hot. It seemed to trouble and grieve him, He whispered, DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT. Lord, you're supposed to be love, How can yopu send me to damnation? He replied, with your mouth you said you loved me, But each day you rejected my salvation. With that in an instant, Day turned into night. I never knew such torture could be, Now too late, I know the Bible is right. If I can tell you anything, Hell has no age. It is a place of torture, Separated from God and full of rage. You know, I thought it was funny -- a joke, But this one thing is true. If you never accept Jesus Christ, HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU! Note: I did not write this. |

This is powerful stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this piece. I pray that everyone I meet, greet, touch in any way will not spend their eternity in that place. I want to weep at the thought. Thanks again Sincerely, Rwood |

Thank God for the convicted person who framed this awesome poems of stern warning. Hell is a true reality which the Lost of Humanity will know too well, and too long--bercauser they rejected the blessed offer of a Loving Lord & Savior. How sobbering these words are, God help us to embrace Christ and our soul's only Hope, Thank you for sharing it with us, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |
