Poetry: For How Long?

FOR HOW LONG?

Deep in sin

You call it "Pleasure"

Under the the bondage of the devil

You refuse to believe this

But for how long would you continue to DIE  IGNORANTLY?

You don't study the scriptures

You say, "no time"

You hold your Bible in your hands

You say "going to church"

But for how long would you continue to HOLD your Bible while you're FAR from it?

Prayers means nothing to you

You say, "no need"

You struggle with your battles alone

You say, "no one cares"

But for how long would you continue to DISREGARD this WEAPON?

You study the scriptures

Yet you struggle with sin

You pray a lot

Yet you're chained by evil

But for how long would you continue in this BONDAGE?

You don't like him/her

You say, "she/he is evil"

You set a trap for him/her

You say, "she/he deserves it"

But for how long would you continue to PAY EVIL for EVIL?

You can't give Him your time

Yet you say, "I love God"

Sacrifice is a big problem for you

You say, "It's too much"

But for how long would you continue to DECEIVE yourself?

Aren't you tired of this "PLEASURE"?

Aren't you tired of PRETENCE?

Aren't you tired of DECEIT?

Aren't you tired of  BONDAGE?

But for how long will this continue?

Why don't you ask God for Grace?
