Visions of Grace #82

Visions of Grace In whispered tales, some claim to have glimpsed beyond— To realms of heaven and hell, while yet they breathe. Alive, yet speaking of death's distant dawn, Their words a tapestry of unseen sheathe. But heed, for such visions bear a weight untold, Not of truth or falsehood in their silent creed, But in judgment's shadow, bold and cold, A responsibility from which none are freed. Remember then, the gospel's gentle call, Not in heaven or hell does its essence lie, But in grace, in faith, in repentance for all, In a belief profound, under the vast sky. We are not islands, drifting, alone and stark, But souls intertwined with the divine spark. In Christ, we find a path not trodden by sin, Alive to God, a new journey to begin. So let the gospel be your guiding star, Not in judgment harsh, but in love that spans afar. For in grace we find our truest worth, Alive to God, just as Jesus, reborn on this Earth.
