Heartaches

"Judgement must begin at the house of God."
Thus it is written in His Word.
If we'll not judge ourselves, He will,
A law He will always fulfill.
"Touch not mine anointed."
"Do my prophets no harm."
To those who do, He will disarm.
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay"
You must repent, or rue the day!
It's a fearful thing to fall into His hand,
When He gets angry, who can stand?
How can one love God and hate his brother,
And keep His command "Love one another"?
Back-biting, slandering, division, and strife,
All come forth from a carnal life.
How grieved the heart of God must be,
When He sees all the resulting sin and misery.
Caused by those wanting their own way,
And by those refusing or neglecting to pray.
