*The proposal*
In a world of choices, where paths diverge,
I stand at the crossroads, ready to emerge,
For there’s a proposal, a choice to be made,
Between what God offers and what the world persuades.
God extends His hand, offering love and grace,
A divine embrace, a sacred space,
He offers forgiveness, a chance to start anew,
To find purpose and meaning, to live life true.
The world, on the other hand, tempts with allure,
Promises of fame, wealth, success to secure,
It dangles material possessions before my eyes,
Whispering empty promises, masking its lies.
God offers peace, a tranquil serenity,
A refuge in Him, where my soul finds identity,
He offers joy, not fleeting, but everlasting,
A deep-rooted contentment, in Him I’m casting.
The world entices with temporary pleasures,
Fleeting moments that fade, like evaporating treasures,
It promises happiness, but only for a while,
Leaving emptiness and longing, a hollow smile.
God offers guidance, a compass for my way,
A light in the darkness, leading me each day,
He offers wisdom, a path of righteousness,
A life filled with purpose, free from emptiness.
The world entices with its selfish desires,
Fueling greed and envy, igniting destructive fires,
It offers success at the expense of others,
Leaving broken hearts, sisters and brothers.
God offers love, unconditional and pure,
A love that endures, steadfast and sure,
He offers salvation, a chance to be free,
From the chains of sin, His grace sets me free.
The world entices with its shallow pursuits,
Chasing after temporary highs, like fleeting fruits,
It offers fame and recognition, but at what cost?
Sacrificing integrity, a soul that is lost.
So in this proposal, this choice to be made,
I choose God’s offering, His love never fades,
For in Him, I find purpose, peace, and grace,
A life worth living, a journey to embrace.
I reject the world’s empty allure,
Its temporary pleasures, its promises impure,
For God’s proposal, His divine plan,
Leads me to eternity, to a life that’s grand.
So I surrender to God’s loving embrace,
Embracing His proposal, His amazing grace,
For in Him, I find true fulfillment and worth,
In His arms, I find my eternal rebirth.
