All our trials and all our strife, have their roots in our spiritual life, <br />Friend we are not just anyone, for we are the image of God’s Son. <br />We were created more than whole; we were given a body and a soul. <br />All other creation is as you see, but we have been made for Eternity. <br /> <br />Placed in a garden with no strife, and we were given Eternal Life. <br />With God man had unfettered fellowship, then Satan entered into it. <br />Satan’s ploy had caused man to fall, but that my friend was not all. <br />Being banished from Paradise, started for all men a world of strife. <br /> <br />God no longer walked with them, as their fellowship came to an end. <br />Outside the garden it got worse, for on the earth God put a curse. <br />One thing lost in all this strife, was man’s assurance of Eternal Life, <br />When man takes his last breath, without God, he faces Eternal Death. <br /> <br />It’s from Adam that we inherit sin, that causes us deep grief within. <br />Friend it is this sin that causes strife, affecting each and every life. <br />All wicked trials, big and small, can be traced back to Adam’s fall. <br />And all evil emotions deep within, stem from Adam’s original sin. <br /> <br />Just as Adam caused all men to fall, Christ came to redeem us all, <br />To redeem us from a market of sin, that causes us bondage within. <br />He came in the midst of our strife, to restore to all men Eternal Life, <br />And give to all an inner peace, and a relationship that won’t cease. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©02/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-our-trials/
