2020
01/01/2020
The arrival of something new and long hoped for
A year for the visionaries
Full of promises and many unknowns
“Cheers!” Let’s raise our glasses and make a toast
Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurry!
Let’s bow our heads and mourn lost souls
Those who passed in the year's first second
Those unaware that this is their death year
Are you certain that you will see the year’s end?
The start of a new year
Another reminder that we are subject to time
That whatever we do or don’t, it remains of the essence
Breathe in. Breathe out. Remember what it feels like
The countdown to your life’s end continues.
The buzzer could sound any moment from now.
Like 2019 just passed, your end will come too
But now I ask, what does 2020 have in store for you?
No, no. I’m not obsessed with mortality
I’m rather very conscious of our reality
What are the important decisions to be made today?
The matters of eternal consequences as time flies away?
What choice do you have that the dead don’t?
What stale relationships need mending?
Are you still ignoring Jesus Christ knocking at your door?
Yes! Yes, you! You’re the one He’s looking for!
Move with foresight and not hindsight
Take your decisions in light of eternity
What you’re seeking and unexpectant of lays ahead
But You only know as much as this moment
Oh, can’t you see that you are the villain!
Why do you fight against your salvation?
Why do you pride yourself in a future you cannot physically bring into fruition?
How far will you swing on the pendulum?
Return to your Creator now so that He heal your blindness
May this be the year you have your sight restored
To have your hands peeled from covering your eyes
To see the existence of God and His love for you.
To understand God's hatred for the falseness of limited human wisdom, pretense, and sin
To see clearly how He has made a way for you!
To be your very light and perfect vision through Jesus Christ
Here's to a year of many unknowns
In which I celebrate the certainty and truth of Jesus Christ
Here's to 2020.
Cheers.
