{Words of Wisdom} THE BALANCE TO THE SCALES OF JUSTICE 1/07/07

Wrong choices with the right motives...
Right choices from the wrong motives;
All choice is weighed in the balance.

With every choice there is a door...
With every door there is a choice.
Life and death are in the balance.

Though they separate at the turn,
The fork in the road leads one place:
Life’s breath is weighed in the balance.

The sands of time pours forth its grain...
Just one weight balances the scales.
And justice hangs in the balance.

God measures the seed on the scale,
Rains on the good and bad ones.
And harvest waits in the balance.

Mercy triumphs over judgment.
God’s goodness leads to repentance
His warnings wait in the balance.

The earth does groan with man’s choices.
Taunt tight between good and evil.
And who’s standing in its balance?

Some things are not as they appear.
Some things are transparently clear.
All things are weighed in the balance.

The fear of God is not yet known
His justice is always perfect.
God alone is righteous balance.

When we face Him and see our lives
Thoughts and deeds and words and motives
Will be on the scales of balance.

And when we see the last grain fall
We will realize what weighed the most.
Each choice to love brings the balance.

So when you make choices in life
Always filter- is it for love?
And you will finally be balanced.
