Garden of Eden
There once existed
a place like no other.
Where beauty abounded
and grace surrounded.
Because God
in his infinite glory
created beings.
First he created man
and then a woman
for this man.
He meant
for this couple
to live
in harmony forever.
With no sadness
and no death.
No pain and no sorrow...
But Satan in the form
of a serpent hissed.
And the woman listened
and fell into sin.
And the man
followed her into it.
The world as we know it
was not created
according to God's wishes
but man's free well.

This poem was inspired by the Genesis account of Adam and Eve. Whether people realize it or not, God did not create this world to be as it is now. This is a fallen world because God gave us the free will to choose. If you choose God then you live and if you don't... then there are consequences.
I once read somewhere that the opposite of good is not bad but evil. Think about it! Some people believe in God but don't believe that there is an evil presence in this world and yet there are countless movies that explore the conflict between good and bad. Do you truly believe that there is no devil? There are books out there about heaven and hell, why not read them?
