But God Can Hate Too
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

 But God can hate too

We hear so much that God is love

Most think it’s for the best

But some in death, when high above

They’ll find they have no rest

 

God’s love is true! There is no doubt

In Christ, it’s hard to hide

But what most fail to talk about

Is what He can’t; abide

 

Who live to sin will surely die

To find themselves in hell!

Though Jesus’ love is not a lie

The Lord can hate as well

 

Like cows well fed, grown sleek and fat

Some sit with nought to do

Once saved, they think that that is that

God’s love will see them through

 

Some hear life’s call, yet fail to come

They’ve nought but self; in mind

Though God is love, He isn’t dumb

And neither is He blind

 

Within the world God’s children die

Outside of Jesus’ hand

Without the “Word” they wonder why?

Failing to understand

 

There’s more to God than meets the eye

His Word is truly profound

He says there’s more for you and I

Than just to sit around

 

Beware pay heed what Jesus said

Learn now! God to fear

Don’t play the fool until you’re dead

Trust God and serve Him here.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
