It's Christmas 2015,
And I am here to ask,
When will you and I be younger,
When will we have more life ahead to live,
And if we don't choose to fully live right now,
When will we?
Life is a precious gift.
Hellish?
Yes, sometimes.
Wonderful?
Yes, often!
Beautiful!
Certainly, and ugly, too.
Look up from ennui.
Rise from the ashes of despair.
Take hold of Hope.
Seize Forgiveness.
Embrace Courage.
Stumble or Stride into Life.
Do you know there is a Savior
Who came as a poor babe
Through the ****** doorway
Of a ****** to set His mortal path
To the ****** doorway of the Cross,
In order to lead us through it to Joy?
To travel that path to Joy,
You and I must do only one thing....
Receive the free gift;
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...
And be saved.
The rest is the infinitive
TO LIVE!
Life in Christ is a struggle;
No secrets there,
But that Life is worthy
The Sturm und Drang,
And don't we all have
Sturm und Drang
Anyway?
So, LIVE!
Merry Christmas!
John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her (Martha), "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
(Yes, Lord, I do.)
