"IS GOD 'REALLY' UNFAIR?"
© 1997 Patricia L. Carpenter
Poem Bk. #2
Some people say "God is unfair"
as they look all around this Earth,
He says He'll 'satisfy' the hungry *
yet we see all this 'dearth'.
But STOP & think a while
is it really true?
Are all these people 'really looking'
looking unto YOU?
You can only satisfy us
IF we look to You always,
But, if we pursue 'other gods'
You'll let us go our ways!
We'd surely like to blame You
for all the troubles all around,
Instead of blaming 'ourselves'
for the troubles in this town!
If we're not seeking JESUS
then we're pursuing the devil,
Only 'putting on a show'
& surely NOT on the level!
Jesus 'knows' our hearts
He knows if we're 'sincere', *
And if we truly are
He'll be ever 'near'!
He'll fulfill the 'desires' of
those who 'Trust & Reverence' Him, *
He always hears their 'cries'
& comes & rescues them!
We must begin to 'Praise Him' *
& 'love Him' ever more,
Regardless of what's around us
or even ~ 'next door'!
We cannot control what 'others' do
only just 'ourselves', *
Perhaps if they see us 'Rejoicing'
they'll want JESUS for themselves!
He keeps His every Promise *
on that you can rely,
Just open up READ His Word
& your SOUL He'll satisfy!
