Is it God's will?

We say it is God’s will
to so much
to even death

But is it
Is it really His will
or is it
because of that first sin
begun with Adam and Eve
which we carry with every breath taken
that makes it so?

It was not God’s will
that all should perish
There were instructions set in place
to guide us along the path of life

God gave us each
the right to choose,
make our own decisions
but because of that freedom
we often refused to follow
guidelines suggested
by The Holy One

It was, It is
Not
God’s will
but our own will
that determines
our eternal destiny
Our eternity --
our choice
our will
Things fall apart, collapse

Is it God’s will?
Is it not?
No, none should perish
He loves us all

Yet His judgment comes
to all who fail
and all have failed
at one time or another

We are not complete
without Him

Do you blame God
for what comes your way?
or what doesn’t?
for hopes and dreams and expectations
gone sour?

Your choice
Your free will
is the determining factor

If ,
When you seek God
accept Him into your life
believe on Him
and trust His promises
allow Him to lead
instead of you

The path of life –
Although still  filled
with thorns and thistles --
will become smoother
You will stumble less
because That One
who is beside you,
in front of you,
behind you,
all around you
That One is Jesus.


With Him
We are complete
That is God’s will.
