Antithesis

Every once in a while I get some kitschy Christian poety in my email. The following was sent to me by a friend (who ought to know better :oP).

To A Beautiful Person
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whwevever you wnt to talk, He listens.
He can liver anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.
Face it friend, He is crazy about you!

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Forward to every beautiful person that you know.

Here is my version:

The Reality: To a Sinful Person


If God had your picture
He would likely burn it along with you if you don't repent
He doesn't need a wallet since he owns everything...
so don't bother to see if your picture is there
And did you remember to thank and praise him for the sunrise this morning, you ungrateful wretch?
Your unrepentance makes your prayers vain and He doesn't hear them
The heavens are as brass against you.
Face it friend,
Unless God does a work of grace in your heart
You are LOST
God promises an eternity of pain, sorrow and every imaginable torment ahead of you.
Repent now before it is too late.

Please forward to every sinner you know.
