Shortcuts

Romans 8:28 

28 And we know that all things work together for good for those

who love God, who are called according to His purpose,

 

 

It is good to leave it ... and now pay the price

Shortcuts somewhere along the line have to be paid for

Is it not with money ... it will be in time

For free can’t be free anymore ... posted on every door

 

Everything has a price or should have some value

For everyone’s existence there is a required sacrifice

Possibly seldom seen ... or more often just ignored

in our assigned ignorance and our chosen paradigm

 

Fish feeds fish and rats feed snakes ... it’s just all around us

It seems to be a fact of death ... in this environment of pollution

Man eats man in greed and lust ... deeply drawn under the curse

What more can be expected ... in man’s fallen condition?

 

What is than the purpose of life’s call and constant renewal?

Is it for opportunity to rise into a long lost dimension?

When time grinds to a halt and the chips will surely fall

Is that where the Eternal embrace will show defined separation?
