If I Were

[Christsfreeservant]

An Original Work / October 4, 2019

If I were a flea
Sitting in a corner
Of your house at night,
What would I see?

Would I see dark?
Or, would I see light?
What changes would I
Sense in light or darkness?

If I were a frog
Sitting on your
window sill at night,
What would I hear?

A mating call to someone
Other than your spouse?
Or, complaints cause someone’s
Getting too close to the truth?

If I were a mouse
Hiding underneath
Your bed at night,
What would I smell?

Would I smell a rat –
A traitor, turncoat,
One who continually betrays
Another’s trust?

If I were God
I would see everything,
Hear everything,
Smell everything.

So, don’t be fooled!
Those who hate the light,
And who embrace the darkness,
Stand condemned already.

Also, Philippians 2:12 says, "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Some fleas are blind. They wouldn't see much.
Frogs do not have outer ears. They wouldn't hear much.
Mice are repelled by the smell of humans. They wouldn't be around much.
God came to save that which is lost. They have a chance to enter the Light.

Thank you! I appreciate this.

Fleas are able to see dark and light and to sense changes in light and darkness or in the intensity of light. Frogs do have ear drums and they rely heavily on their ability to hear. Likewise mice rely heavily on their ability to smell. And, yes, God/Jesus did come to save those who are lost, and they do have a chance to enter into the light. But, those who refuse to enter into the light, for fear that their evil deeds might be exposed, are still in the darkness, and thus they are still under condemnation (See: John 3:16-21).
