Rivers of people come and go, on roads of life they’ve come to know, <br />Fully involved in a daily routine, across our land, is a common scene. <br />Striving daily to make ends meet, in a world that is filled with deceit. <br />What seems to govern this life, much corruption behind all the strife. <br /> <br />Everything seems to be sold at a price, as was our Lord Jesus Christ. <br />Do you know a Judas my friend, oblivious to The Lord and the end? <br />Willing to sell God for some change, in a life that is quite deranged. <br />It could be one close to your side, with a lingering darkness to hide. <br /> <br />Evil men wax worse and worse, influenced by sin’s dreaded curse, <br />As seducers continue to deceive, and attack those who truly believe. <br />All their deceptive practice and ways, bring many trouble filled days. <br />And all of their deceit in the end, brings undue trial to innocent men. <br /> <br />As soon a quiet everyday life, becomes filled with troublesome strife. <br />And your peaceful daily routine, becomes a hectic unwanted scene. <br />The fruit of deceptive schemes, has been the end of many a dreams. <br />But soon all these men of deceit, will be brought down in total defeat. <br /> <br />But you can transform this life, by walking with the man Jesus Christ. <br />Christ will give you a new mind, one that will go on through all time. <br />Accept in your heart Jesus Christ, and Jesus will give you New Life, <br />Friend, a life of Joy, you will see, as your hope moves on to Eternity. <br /> <br />Present grief will be in the past, as Christ gives you life that will last, <br />As we leave earth’s river of strife, we’ll see the Eternal River of Life. <br />No longer a routine of despair, for soon we will be caught in the air, <br />Where we will meet with The Lord, and live with Christ forevermore.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/striving-for-what/
