The Time Has Come To Choose - A Poem of God's Love

Thoughts at 3 A.M. on October 10, 2026, intended for a loved one suffering anguish that very night.
Poem derived from the Christian Holy Bible ... A meditation on Grace and Abiding in Him.
Listen to a peaceful rendition of the poem on my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/tgenco1134
* Scriptures referenced are tagged at the end of the poem.
I personally suggest Joshua 24:15 and John 15:4-5 to dig deeper into study on Grace and forgiveness.

The Time Has Come To Choose

The time has come for all to know:
I am the Lord. Do you think so?

Will you talk with Me today,
 or turn and hide another day?
No middle ground for you to choose.

Make known the things you fear today.
The secrets you have tucked away.
No need to run, no need to cloak.
I knew them all before you spoke;

Come close, child. Stand by My side.
I see each wound you have inside.
And all the burdens you try to hide.

I know your story, beginning to end.
Open your heart and let Me mend,
The pain you’re frightened to reveal.
You need to conceal.

The Universe belongs to Me.
Nothing new for you to see.
I keep your tears within my hand.
each one as precious as the sand. 

Bring Me the sins you fear to name;
I knew them all, and still I came.
Upon the cross, I took your place;
I shed My blood to bring you Grace.

Come. Repent, and lay it down;
Let shame no longer keep you bound.
Your sins are now forgiven all;
I wiped them clean, so you stand tall.
I broke those chains to set you free.

But the devil still recites your past,
as though his verdict were the last.
He is a liar. Hear My voice:
His plans cannot surpass the cross.

When your heart breaks, I draw near,
to bind your wounds and wipe each tear.
Come, let Me hold you through it all.
The good, the bad, And yes, the ugly too.

You go to church each week,
For it is I you truly seek?
I long for you to know Me too.
Open My Word and hear Me through.

“I cannot change,” you say …

Let My Word bring life anew.
Abide in Me, As I in you.
Take My hand in yours each day.

Come. Know Me today.
Before that day, you need not hear Me say;

“I never knew you. Go Away”

Knock and I will welcome you;

Come, take your place, by My side.
Call My name and forget your pride.
In every season, I do not hide.
The door stands open wide.

When you face the refining fire,
do not fear what comes with ire.
For I stand beside you, in that flame.
Just pray aloud, and call My name.

In love I will renew your heart,
and burn away all that keeps us apart.
Whatever May, Forever Come.

May your anthem here proclaim,
"I alone shall be the same.
Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow.
Forever more.

Come to Me and I will lead you home
