“The Way of the World” (#42)

They chose to walk away from Me, and so they could not stay
In the Garden of Eden anymore-I had to send them away.
I had given them all that they had; yet they decided that all of it was not enough.
They chose to go where I told them not to, and so chose the life that was rough.
Without My provision, they had to work and sweat for something far less than what they had before.
They now had to suffer until they died, when in the Garden, they had had so much more.
Their children are born with the nature of their first parents, and choose the way they did to this day;
They turn away from Me and My eternal glory for things that quickly pass away.
But that road, at the end, is not temporary- it leads to eternal separation from Me.
But the death and resurrection of My Son made the only way to Me possible for all to take ably.
So, knowing that it is possible to know Me as Adam first did in the Garden,
Will you choose to follow Me, or will you turn away and to Me your heart harden?
