I'm not quite sure why I am posting this, but I just decided I should. I wrote this last night. Please understand that it's not necessarily theologically accurate or anything, just late night musings. Also, I know that I'm not a very good poet. There's no meter or form or anything that I know of. Kinda freestyle. Enjoy. Please don't be too critical.
Did You Love Him
Did You love him once?
Was he precious and dear to You?
Does it break Your heart to see him now?
Do You weep for him?
So absorbed in his own worship?
Would You take him back if he asked?
Or do our souls mean more to You?
Are You filled with rage at all he's put us through?
Does Your merciful heart demand justice for wrongs
he's caused us to suffer over the years?
When we listen to him, which emotion reigns?
Anger at him for tormenting Your children?
Or sadness that once again we suffer at his hands?
Are You as frustrated as we are?
Does fighting the same battle every day get old for You?
Who are You more frustrated with then? him or us?
Have You wanted to strike me down?
When i've willfully walked away?
Or how about when i listened to Your voice and purposely disobeyed?
Do the nail scars hurt a little more when i choose to disobey?
When i tell You i don't care?
When i walk the other way?
Will You let me find You again?
After all i've said and done to You?
Can i again rejoice with You?
Can we really forget the past?
Will You forgive the times i conspired with him?
Even if i liked it?
Would you take me back if i asked?

Wow! Very moving...I'd never thought about things that way before! Sort of a glimpse into the heart of God...
p.s. I think it's a great poem, by the way...it flows and evokes emotion. :)
