"BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked,
confused, bewildered As
I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice. Herb,
who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well. I nudged Jesus,
'What's the deal? I would love to hear
Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
'And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.
' JUDGE NOT!! Remember...
Just going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than
standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE!
God answers prayer,
it is His sovereign way
To freely give His
blessings day by day;
One earnest plea and lo!
from heaven's throne
The answer comes,
for God has heard His own.
- Anon.
God delights in the earnest prayers
of His people
