What will they say?
The apostle John speaking of Jesus said,
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God—
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will,
but born of God."
John 1:12,13
The poet wrote,
Where are the people?
Where?
Are they but shadows in the mall?
Are they?
Are they shadows in time?
Shadows wandering looking for the latest trinkets, bobbles and beads?
What is life?
What?
Is life but a wisp of smoke carried in the air?
A wisp in the eternal aether?
Are people wisps of smoke?
What of man's or woman's!
accomplishments?
What of them?
Is the sum total of all ones life simply a pile of shinny tin, brass, and wood?
Is that life?
Is life simply a cacophony of sounds travelling through endless time destined to end?
Is it?
Is life a finite opera?
An opera played out on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam?
Are we as Shakespear said simply actors?
Does life end?
No!
No!
Life is real!
Played out before God.
In a world suspended between Heaven and Hell
We,
While mere mortals here.
Are really eternal beings.
Waiting to stand before God.
Are you ready to stand before God?
Are you?
What is the sum total of your life?
What?
Individuals lives in deeds,
What will your deeds say about you?
What will "they" say about you when you pass on?
What will God say?
Please think about it.
