The Nations Shall Know

The Nations Shall Know

by Lucretia Mccloud

(poem with copyright)

With dove-like words:

"God Is Love"
air-borne spoken

emotions
thus you bear.

What sentiments
channels or courses,

trickles,
tears

through your veins,

from your heart
rushes forth as Victoria
or Iguacu

Falls

cascading
into vast stillness
unknowing

sometimes,

as blindness
occasionally
departs

before crashing
cavernous floors of treacherous dark pits

faint-hearted ones
prophesied you'd stumble upon if not judiciously
reared?

Is your emotional stride one of egoistic pride,
like for nations waving flags for countries right or wrong,

a callous arrogance

insidious
inside?

Or anger
for atrocities,

injustices committed worldwide

or simply
against you
or your loved ones

in ignorance or deliberately
begun?

Exasperation or irritation
for Christianity's push

of a deity
dead

or non-existent
he must be instead

buried under some fanciful bush

along with Santa,
the Easter bunny
and the boogie man

created

for a childish ruse
to curiosities
pacify,

to deliberately
hush?

Apathy,

since this God
is not yours,

although non-sympathetic
because of hypocritical actions
of false servants

you've come to
understandably

deplore

blocking welcome
entrance

to Christ's

Open Door?

Embarrassment

for the perceived
indifference or inability of your Creator
to appease his children,

curing them,
as St. Jude's does
or tries to do,

of dreaded disease
crushing the all of mankind

as undeserved sin's genetic due?

Doubt or skepticism
about His existence

because of the persistence of theories otherwise

promoted,

though vague
and inconsistent?

The values and credence of Creation

horrendously
demoted.

Or just plain numbness
from tiredness of scores of roller-coaster like exertions
felt

throughout a long life of unfulfilled waiting
or wanting

dealt?

This God of love knows us

physically,
mentally
and emotionally

through and through

as loving
thoughtful parents
of their individual children
too.

He created us with free-will
and allows us to live and to rightfully

choose,

explaining consequences
of actions

ignorant or perused.

Yet,

He'll help steer and protect
our ship

if
the 'wheel'

into his hands
we wisely give

so as to salvation

not to tragically
lose.

So,

as fine servants
devoted and true

let pride
in our worship
inspire us to
help others see
that "accurate knowledge"

of Jehovah
and his Son

breeds
integrity,

intense
loyalty.

A dedication to show:

God Is Love.

He and His Son
all should want to

proclaim

through study and mediation
in love towards

Jah Jehovah's
name

and his principles,

in spiritual
health

Eternally to grow
joyful and happy.

Our words
and deeds

whole-heartedly
performed

and Christian qualities
daily adorned

honestly

yes, sincerely
in Spirit and in Truth

will actively
become

The Almighty's
International and Universal

Dear Proof.

The Nation's Shall Know:

"I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.
There is no God except me.

I will strengthen
you, although you did not know me,

In order that people may know
From the rising of the sun to its setting

That there is none besides me.

I am Jehovah, and there is no one else."

Inspired by:
""Do not be exasperating your children, so that they do not become downhearted."—Col. 3:21.
If your children are to open up to you, they need to view you as available and approachable. When parents always appear to be too busy to talk, youths in the family are likely to keep their problems to themselves. And what about being approachable? More is involved than simply saying the words, “You can come to me anytime.” Your teens need to sense that you will neither discount their problems nor overreact to them. Instead, aim for a balanced approach."

And, Ezekiel 33:11, 29: Isaiah 45:5,6.  © Lucretia Mccloud
