"DARK CHOICE!"

"Vain-inaginations" and "futile-speculations" only "darken consciences" and "harden hearts" [Ro 1:21]; ......this must not "pass-for" Free-Will-Choice!

--by Dennis Rideout

	

With "lethal-shrug" we do annul the Legacy of Love we own -
In dark reminder of our plight we dis-remember "bone of bone"!
In lieu of Life we 'ascertain', and squander Wisdom by our guess!
What madness, this, the curse prefered to Him Who Gives the 'Bless'?

How very sure must one become to live in doubt and ignorance,
yet "carry on!" (as though secure!) with hardly a remembrance
of any Word from God Above of Life, or Death, or Evermore;
As though Reality denies him ever knowing what he's living for!

We understand we do not know, but choose all we imagine,
as though our thoughts were shapes in whom we convolute our Image in!
So "walk" is "talk",  and God is not! (He'll surely be surpised!,
to find that man is Lord!, and of his self comprised!). 

As 'pride' assures what Faith does not, "the clay becomes the pot!" -
The Master Potter's Hand Declares, "With Loving-Blood you're bought!".
What rash illusions whisper "death!" instead of  "Listen!":  "LIVE"!
But Faith would choose by Vision Known, the One Who Says, "Forgive!".

Then let the 'chooser' know! (and not surmise!);  what loss is lost by loosing -
Conjecture casting in the dark is not what God calls "choosing"!
Shrugging off the God That's Shown,  that by His Loving He is Known -
Only goes to show the 'chooser',  by his choices what he's blown!
