Short and abrupt they seem to be; almost miserable is what it seems, <br />Filled with discontent and a need, yet they go on with empty dreams. <br />Searching alone to fill their need, they fall into many evil schemes, <br />But look to your Eternal needs, and you’ll find Christ still redeems. <br /> <br />This life is filled with vanity, chasing dreams that just won’t be, <br />Pursuing dreams of vanity, your heart and life will remain empty. <br />But Christ came that we may have life, and have it more abundantly, <br />Yes He gives you life abundantly, step out in faith and you will see. <br /> <br />God knows your needs, it is true, and it doesn’t matter what you do, <br />Seek first God’s Kingdom and all of your needs will be given to you, <br />Once you’re in Christ old things fade, and He makes all things new, <br />He’s coming back to take you to a new place He’s prepared for you. <br /> <br />Many are walking the empty and deceptive road of self gratification, <br />Although satisfied for a time, they will face eternal condemnation. <br />There is another road to select, with a sure everlasting foundation, <br />This road is free of man’s deception and it leads to God’s Salvation. <br /> <br />Busy at life taking care of needs, I didn’t need God, so it seemed, <br />But life can be quite empty indeed, trying to be one who’s esteemed. <br />Now that I’m saved and doing God’s deeds, never once had I dreamed, <br />That I would be attempting to lead you to be one of God’s Redeemed.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christ-still-redeems/
