Late
.
Too bad
You’re late*
He was waiting
At the gate
You weren’t there
Too busy
With life’s game
No time
To let him in
So He couldn’t
Erase your sin
.
This is a play on the word ‘late’. Many people in South Africa use the word to mean ‘dead’, e.g. ‘He is late.’ meaning ‘He is dead.’
Refer: (Revelation 3:20)

Very clever, adee. Thoughtful poem. xxx
Thanks, AD! I have been receiving emails for all your comments to and from others who comment on your blog. Also some belonging to Hope. None from others though which makes me think it is only recent ex News 24 bloggers. I hope ‘they’ (WP) sort it out soon.
This one really brings it home, Denise. Blessings – Maxi
Thanks, Maxi! I have felt urged to do it. Bless you, my friend. ♥
This may be brilliant…
Good for you!
Praise indeed – thank you Hook!
Now that is one fantastic piece of writing….so true to many who do not know The Lord and do not realise what they are missing! Bless you!
Thank you so much, Patrecia! Bless you too. ♥
Timing is everything in life….And beyond I guess..
Probably, Jake…
How are you? I hope all is well with you and you are smiling still.
Aah, yes I am, thanks for asking, my friend.
So glad to hear that.
Simple but profound. How often we give precedence to trivial things, neglecting the ones of vital importance.
Too true, Col.
oo there are some things you dont want to be late for….this is one of them….too busy, yep that happens to some…
It’s a matter of priorities, Brian, and some people can never get them right.
*Gulp* I’m LATE for this post…yikes! LOL
You couldn’t possibly have been LATE and replied, Otin. We-ell you couldn’t be. Or could you?
Very thought-provoking!
Lovely to see you again, Grandawn!
Jesus’s door is always open. It is ours that may remain closed. His offering is not a command either. It is an invitation. Heard an interesting twist on meaning of Garden of Eden story. It is man that kicked God out of the Garden not vice versa. Makes sense. We’re the ones that do the door closing.
I was just pointing out how easy it is to neglect the important things in life, Carl. The Garden theory, I agree, does make sense. We have His assurance that he will forgive us ANYTHING we truly regret so he could NEVER shut us out – it is we ourselves who shut the door. Thanks for your comment/reply and God bless you.
