There’s no safe haven on Earth.
”Uh, gee Wally. Why you gotta be such a Donnie Downer?”
Look. I’m just sayin’.
This planet ain’t no safe haven.
Sure, there ARE safer spots than others when it comes to crimes like murder and stealing. But planet Earth is wicked. And I know that’s an old-fashioned word. But it fits better than just about any other word. In fact, there was only one time in history when it was worser (which is even worse than worse). And that’s when God was sorry He even made human beings. So, He broke the planet and killed all but 8 people. Yikes! Kinda harsh, right?
And that was really for the sake of only ONE of those people.
And that was because God is the most brilliant “big picture” thinker.
Since He has that kind of perspective, it’s vitally important to have a better understanding of that big picture. And I’m sure you know this.
But for someone who just happened to find my little corner of the internet as they looked for answers, here’s how it goes. You WILL exist forever somewhere. One of two places. You can live in the fullness of life with your Creator in paradise. Or you can exist totally separate from Him, forever.
Option 1, God’s Kingdom. The only safe haven. Filled with life and love.
Option 2, your “kingdom.” Consisting of one miserable soul.
But you DO get to choose. Because God loves you so much He won’t even force you into paradise if you don’t wanna go there. My recommendation is: Choose Option 2.
Safe And Sound
Down on our luck but not out of the game
We both go the distance and cover some ground.
And still our love is safe and sound.
We learned to be part of each other’s dreams.
Some time was lost but look what we found,
Knowing our love is safe and sound.
We laugh like there’s no tomorrow.
We’re touched by the hand of God.
So what if there’s no new sunrise.
So what if the world won’t spin around.
We’re safe and sound.
Miles have gone by; we dared to go see
The wide open space and seldom we frowned.
Look how our love is safe and sound.
Deep in our hearts and inside our minds.
We capture the words and they keep us bound,
Saying our love is safe and sound.
We laugh like there’s no tomorrow.
We’re touched by the hand of God.
So what if there’s no new sunrise.
So what if the world won’t spin around.
We’re safe and sound.
So many give up when one knee is down.
But we’re down on both and now we’re safe and sound.
