"The Third Song"

"As for you, Jerusalem, the citadel of God's people, your royal might and power will come back to you again. The kingship will be restored to my precious Jerusalem." (Micah 4:8 NLT)

  Summing up this Second Song is like trying the explain what might have went wrong to the end of a very difficult trial; it is just that, now we move on! Seriously, this is more that just a group of songs, six of them in all; it is about what we have been given in this relationship with a God that loves us, every last bit of us; from the very least, to the greatest, He has nothing but love for you, no matter what you have done or what you might currently think of Him.
  There are many ways to pretend that we do not need to be fixed; whether you are filthy rich, or you are content to be homeless, every single one of us are going to die. What matters the most, is where death takes you! Sure, you can also pretend that there is nothing after death; as many people are so accustom to do, and as many have done since the very beginning. Oddly enough, after the fall, Adam named his wife Eve, which means, "Mother of All Living." Not saying that to debate whether or not they died, because the Bible clearly says that they lived for so many years, and then they died; but to be sure where their soul went after, or even if there is a soul to be taken, we simply wait and see!
  Talk about a wrong end you might have waiting; any trial you might have now, might not look so bad after all; then again, it really does not need to come to that, if you simply put your trust in a God that actually loves you! What does it hurt? If you are looking for peace, there is more peace than you will ever need; if you are looking for joy, His joy is more real than any happiness this world could ever supply. And, if it is love that you long for, His love is unconditional and everlasting; love so big and vast, it is easy to get lost in it and never want to be found.
  As for this, "Young Women of Jerusalem," and what they might represent; they are not exactly good or bad, neither are they a friend or foe; a lot like religion might be, more like the law might have been; and maybe, just maybe, a little like death and dying will become. Then again, what do I know, I'm just trying to pass the time and waiting to see how it all turns out...

"But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness." (Romans 2:5-8) NLT
