The Unsuspected Ones

We must be attentive to the sins of others,

We cannot let anybody falter.

Because there are too many temptations,

We must fortify them with good thoughts and opinions.

––––––––

Many people have no knowledge,

And because of it, they fall into some mistakes.

They think what they do is right,

They do not know that it is a sinful life.

––––––––

These people, we must notify,

That their attitudes are bad and not wise.

Talking that they are living in a lie,

They bring great pains to their lives.

––––––––

To know the true path, they need,

The truths of God, they have to see.

The mistakes in their lives, they must notice,

Away from the mistake; they will live.

––––––––

By knowing the true way,

The people will leave their mistakes.

They will become the Lord’s beloved ones,

They will have a new life with salvation.

Other Things

The Lord, you can be following,

But sometimes, you are serving other things.

There are things the Lord did not command you,

Things that attract you.

––––––––

These things will separate you from the Lord,

You will not be firm with God.

You will be inclined to human desires,

God’s purpose, your heart, will be put aside.

––––––––

Seeing this, God will be saddened,

Seeing that He is losing a son.

God created and loved him, but He is losing him,

Now the person goes after what did not create him.

––––––––

The attention of the person remains divided,

They follow other teachings and also the Bible.

God is being kept aside,

Other things are always in their mind.

––––––––

God does not tolerate this division!

He wants his sons with full dedication.

His glory, God does not accept to divide!

His people must dedicate to Him their lives.

––––––––

Following the wickedness path,

The person deviates from righteousness.

They are building lies in his heart,

From God and his salvation, they keep apart.

Hears and Does not Practice

The words of God, many people will hear,

They hear the message only to get happier,

But in their lives, nothing will change.

The statutes of God, they will not practice.

––––––––

They became someone like a believer-atheist,

They act like God did not exist.

The name of the Lord is always on their lips,

But their lives show they do not fear Him.

––––––––

They are doing everything for self-satisfaction,

They want to fulfill all their desires and imaginations.

The instructions coming from God, they will negate,

Because they know they do not follow good ways.

––––––––

They still use these audacious words:

There was never any wickedness in our works.

These words will testify against them,

It will be shown the evil made by their hands.

––––––––

Before the Lord, they will suffer the accusation,

There will be no way to be free of condemnation.

In their lives, they forgot the Lord in all moments,

And after death, they will perish with pain and torment.

Work

To survive, it is needed to work,

If we want to have something,

We need to fight for everything.

Because nobody will get anything without fighting.

––––––––

We must always trust in God,

But you cannot be lazy and make any effort.

There are many things you have to do,

For other things to happen to you.

––––––––

The Lord ordered the work for
