Choose Life!

The Weight of Our Sins

Salted sapphire

holds ever fast

as hearts steep

into wells of past;

Suffer not, dear children,

these wailing sounds,

as we wrestle ourselves

to ancient grounds.

In His mercy, ancient grounds of sin are no longer remembered by God. But sometimes our past misdeeds still haunt our thoughts.

Do not surrender yourselves

to earth’s deadly lust,

nor suffocate underneath

her barren dust.

Let not our transgressions

rest upon your heads;

but sleep in peace

beneath the scarlet, He bled.

In our godly maturity, we loathe our past transgressions. We want our children to carry out better choices.

Smolder not to ash

as we, ourselves, deserve;

but tread the linear path,

resisting the wide curve.

Take not to heart

the inferno beds

we have made,

but choose Life

through Jesus Christ

which will never fade!

Upon our sincere request, Jesus forgives us. We must also forgive ourselves.

Very Beautiful article, Tamara

I enjoyed reading the poetry

The quotes are lovely

Baby Mason is so cute

Give him a kiss from my side

Parents are always precious

They always want happiness for their children

They always show them the right path

I feel very blessed that God blessed me with loving and caring parents

I wish may you see every happiness of your children and May God bless you with everything you desire. Amen!
