his call

image credits

The world called,

and I listened.

They screamed for me,

and I listened.

I read and saw and heard

everything they could offer.

They said "come, have fun"

and I listened.

They offered joy and worldly pleasure

They offered "happiness" and "peace."

They promised money and riches

and I listened.

But then He came,

and knocked on my heart's door.

He urged me to follow

But I ignored His call.

He came again,

and begged for my soul.

"Come," He implored

But I ignored His call.

And then the world threw me

drugs and alcohol and sex

And I was broken

but I listened.

I took what they offered

Searching for happiness

The drugs nearly killed me,

But I still listened.

But the knocking continued,

"Please, I can help"

He said.

and

I

opened

the

door.

And He came in

Full of true happiness, true joy

true peace, true love

and I embraced Him.
