Blessed Are Those Who Went To Heaven! Poem by Denis Martindale

Blessed are those who went to Heaven and walked the streets of gold,
All those saints who got forgiven, Lord Jesus to behold,
Who listened to Christ's every word, each truth and prophecy,
Christ showed His love, so what occurred fulfilled that destiny.
Lord Jesus said they must return to share the Gospel still,
And when they share, more people learn, according to God's will.
Yet we must also take due care, discerning secrets known,
And cover well our hearts with prayer to God and God alone.
How can we trust conflicting things? Or every message brought?
We must trust in the King of Kings yet capture every thought.

False prophets fill us with regret when fools get led astray,
Man's future waits for free will yet must still unfold each day.
The Bible offers certainty to each Gentile and Jew,
Without the Bible, what are we? What hope could we cling to?
There is a crown laid up for us who long for Christ's return,
Amazing Grace in Christ Jesus that none on Earth can earn.
God's pardon grants eternal life, yes, for eternity,
That we must claim, while still alive, still found at Calvary.
A billion saints don't see the Lord nor hear His voice at all,
Yet at His Name, kneel overawed at each new miracle!

Let us praise God in precious prayers and offer strong prayers, too!
Prayer Warriors, come, cast your cares because Christ cares for you!


Denis Martindale, for the 25th of March 2024.
