If you aren't excited when you wake up in the morning, it is because
you are unaware of the unseen reality that wars in the space around you.
What appears as fantasy in this poem is no fantasy at all.
It is the ongoing mystery of the purpose and plan of God.
The words of the poem represent absolute truth. 
THE DARK PLANET
The heavens display the splendor and majesty of the Creator
Moving through the expanse of His universe
Angels, traveling untold light years of space
Are riveted on one small planet with awed attention
All of Heaven watches this dark womb
Where the children of their God are being birthed
But why here
Why such a place as this
A planet full of violence and immorality
Where all inhabitants are held captive
In bodies of rebellion and sin
This place of killing and pain
Greed and tears
Where the very air is filled with demons
Fulfilling the will of their own god, Satan
The men and women of this world are yielding
Their minds and bodies to the will
And desire of the demons
Darkness prevails!
But ... in the course of time
Something Happened
A Light . . .
A bright and consuming Light
Left the Creator and beamed
Down through the darkness
Onto the rebellious planet
The Spirit of God
Hovering ever over the earth
Gave sight to many of the creatures living there
And they saw the Light
The Light gave them knowledge and truth
Telling them that if they would put their faith in Him
He would come into them
Live in them
Commune with them
That they would also become lights
The Creator Himself would become their Father
The Light's name is Jesus
As angels watched
They saw the Light begin to multiply
From the little country of Israel
They saw the intense sparks of Light
Increasing in number
As one person passed the Light to another
Hope and faith spread across the darkness
The Light was 
offered to every person.
And every person was judged
On whether or not they accepted the Light
It causes pain to God when His children hurt
Yet He is allows each of us to go through
the experience Of this dark planet
His purpose is that we have opportunities
To choose between darkness and light
As we overcome the temptations of darkness
And choose righteousness
God said that it is
" . . . more precious than gold" to Him.
The story of your life and choices on planet Earth
Your bravery, faith, and victories
Will be told by your rewards
throughout all of eternity
MAKE IT A GOOD STORY!
Glorify your Father by trusting Him
It isn't important how weak you are
Or how many times you fail
It is important that you put your faith in Him
Keep looking at the Light
and trusting Him to love you
Day after day
He is the Light in you
And He is faithful
Be not afraid of the darkness
John 3:19-21
"And this is the judgment, that the Light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil."
<b>For you that would like added encouragement, God pulled back the darkness one day and revealed a glimpse of the power surrounding us to a frightened young man.</b>
2 Kings 6:15-17 Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"
16 So he answered, " Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
17 Then Elisha prayed and said, " O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the Lord opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. NASU
<b>PS I think many people are confused about what it means to have faith in Christ, the Savior sent by God. My next article will be a fun writing, hopefully, making the type of faith spoken of by God very clear.</b>

You have created here, Glome, a very powerful affirmation of your faith.
Did you mean to say this up top at the beginning of your writing . . .
" . . . and you will see no hint of the drama that is being played out daily". ~ Glome
Did you mean to say no hint?
Just wondering about that one part.
I like the yellow sparkles you have here ~ I SEE them as white sparkles around people that are illuminated and walking in the light.
Blessings ~

I will go back up and rethink that. Word it better. I see my verse is not together also.
The sparkle are really supposed to begin where it says, "As angels watched, they saw sparks begin to multiply . . . as one person passed the light to the other"
But I need to make more lights to go down to the bottom. I also need to make the dark planet bigger so the tiny lights show on it.
I was giving this lesson to 3 grandaughters so when I did the world I put 3 tiny lights on it so they could see themselves. :) Thanks for pointing that out. I really does need clarified.
I just spent an hour and a half correcting intro, poem, graphics, verses & prologue and WHAM. It's gone.
I'm going out to eat ... will try again later.
Sorry I put it up before I did a good job editing. Later you all.
I'm sure there are many people in Gather that are not sure exactly what it means to be a believer. A real believer. We were all in that place at one time in our life.
Marianne, and all the others that are believers, lets pray that God will pour out courage and hunger into those that want answers to email one of us.
I was religious but felt yukky about myself. Was scared of hell. & then one day my Aunt Ruthie (some of you know her as you've read my poem :J told me the simple message and my whole life changed.
If anyone passing by is a little bashful or afraid, please send me an email ... or send Marianne an email; we would have so much fun teaching you how you can personally become a child of God. We love you and are praying for you right now :)
For some reason, that description, and the empassioned way in which she said it, touched me deeply, and I've always held it close.

I am glad that I found you.
I hope you are carrying the Litght. Knowing the Lord :)
I'm really happy you enjoy the story. I do have other similiar poems in my article listing.
It is 2:45 AM here in Kansas. I'm going to bed :) Sweet dreams you two :)
God Bless you Glome,,,
Thanks you for coming by to read my poem. I love your comment :)
Love and light
When time has ended and the veil lifted ... and we really see what this has been all about ... we will see we had no idea; no idea at all of the majesty of the one that created us. Then the ships in your harbor will sound their sirens! But the fireworks ??? I'm afraid they would be silenced by the light of His Glory :):) Greece has a wonderful reputation over here. We love her. She is the great, great, great Grandparent of many of us. So we arelated :)
Blessings,

Why such a place as this
A planet full of violence and immorality
Where all inhabitants are held captive
In bodies of rebellion and sin
When I wrote this it is because I really was astounded as I thought about the reality of what God had done.
When you and I have children we protect them and coddle them and keep all evil away and rejoice in their little smiley fat cheeks.
God, a God of love ... had different ideas. He allowed Adam & Eve to sin for His own reasons. It allowed evil in the world. Anyone can be a puppet if there are no choices. He didn't want puppets. He decided to birth a family of living creatures that CHOSE to be born into HIs family.
So not only did He put us in a world with much evil ... but He actually let us be born into bodies whose old natures were dead. (separated from God) Adams nature died when he sinned. When he had babies ... duplicating himself ... there was no eternal life in him to pass on to the children so we were all born dead from God. That means we were born with the desire to please ourselves. To be our own gods.
When you think of it, that is amazing. Put us in an evil world with our very selves being evil. That is almost too too unbelievable ... but it's true. Stranger than fiction :)
Then ... he offers the privalege to every evil being to be reborn into His family. Wow!
Oh oh ... sounds like I'm preaching. I don't mean to but it is such an unbelievable story.
He came to earth and paid the penalty for the evil in us and in the world and now holds out the offer to every creatur to come to Christ and let Him come into us with new life; eternal life. We actually become, not just God's creatures ... but his children.
(but of course our old selfish self is living in our bodies too. It's attached to it till it dies. Thats the part that still wants control. We get to learn slowly how to respond to our wonderful new nature instead of our selfish old nature :)
And how strange that most people dont want to. What an odd ending.
No body else say anything interesting or I'll be off on a tangent again. It's all C's fault because he brought up the battle between our old and new nature.
Talking about so many needing to know ... read Apt 409. That's actually the last poem I wrote I believe. But it is very strong.
This was actually more of an essay and I changed it over one night into a poem. It's a mess but I like the material. I'll redo it & hopefully come up with a better read.
I love how descriptive you are.....the passion just flows from your words.
Curt and Terry. Thank you so much for commenting.
Thank you so much, also, for your encouragement.
