They argue, fight and don’t hear; for in their heart is no reverent fear. <br />They only want what pleases them, they can be most miserable of men. <br />Their world is smaller than they see, for the word they use most is me. <br />What they need to do is compromise, leaning on The Lord who is wise. <br /> <br />The Lord Himself, He compromised, and upon a cross for all He died. <br />Christ gave up His Glorious Throne, to save a people to call His own. <br />Yes He was God, but set that aside, and on the cross for us He died. <br />For us Jesus paid such a price, as God, He became a wicked sacrifice. <br /> <br />But for unsaved men without The Lord, other people just go ignored. <br />At times they make up their own rules, living life as darkened fools. <br />They are men devoid of any light, and so they have no spiritual sight. <br />Until they come into The Light, they live life in the dark of the night. <br /> <br />Friend, I too once lived that life; then I meet The Lord Jesus Christ. <br />He opened my eyes to let me see, a much bigger life up in Eternity. <br />And now I live my life for Him, for He cleansed me of my wicked sin. <br />Christ died on that cross for me, so I can live to help others see. <br /> <br />For the only real purpose in life, is found in The Lord Jesus Christ. <br />And it is a lasting purpose friend, for new life in Christ has no end. <br />Life in Christ, helping others to see, has rewards well into Eternity. <br />So give your life to Jesus Christ, and you’ll enjoy being a sacrifice. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©01/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/real-purpose-in-sacrifice/
