NOT DEATH=BUT LIFE

 

NOT DEATH=BUT LIFE

From the MOMENT we are BORN

We are on a journey-

A JOURNEY that will end

In our death from this world

But IF we live well-

We will die well-

And it is IN THE LIVING of

Our lives that really counts

EACH day is a BLESSING

Make it count-BLESS someone else

With something from your life

“So DEATH is at work in us-

But LIFE IN YOU”                                                                                                2 Corinthians 4:12

MAKE your life count 

Do something GOOD for

Someone else every day

And you will LIVE ETERNALLY in Christ

Bob Dylan=the great poet/lyricist wrote:

“He NOT busy being BORN-

Is busy dying”

We are BORN AGAIN-

In God=we are born again

In CHRIST=every time

We REDEDICATE our lives with

PURPOSE to God and Christ

Psalm 90 says we

ARE given 70 years-

EIGHTY years IF we are strong

ENOUGH TIME to get it right

Enough time to learn that

The PURPOSE of life

IS to DEDICATE our lives

To God=and to

BE of SERVICE to others

“Our DAYS may come

To 70 years-

Or eighty

IF strength endures

Yet the best of them

Are but trouble

And sorrow

For they QUICKLY pass

And we fly away”                                                                                                      Psalm 90:10

DEDICATE your lives to God-

Live LIVES of service

For others=KEEP the commandments

And live in ETERNITY

With God and Jesus

It's NOT death=BUT LIFE

That is important=and the

DEDICATION of your life

For God and OTHERS=for the

SAKE OF HUMANITY

“I myself-

Have SELECTED your fellow Levites

From among the ISRAELITES

As a GIFT to you

DEDICATED to the Lord

To do the work

At the tent of meeting”                                                                                             Numbers 18:6

SOMEDAY we will die=but if

We have the PROPER FAITH-

We will HAVE the eternal life

That we RECEIVE through the GRACE

Of Jesus

Our SUN will never fail

And our life will LIVE ON FOREVER

“'GOD will REPAY each person-

According to what

They have done'

To those who by persistence-

In DOING GOOD-seek glory-

Honor and immortality-

He will GIVE eternal life”                                                                                               Romans 2:6-7

YES FRIENDS=it's NOT our death

That is most important-

It is our LIVES-

And HOW we have lived them

Hopefully in SERVICE and in DEDICATION

To God and to others

Yes=death MAY be at work in us

BUT the Life=LOVE=and JOY of Jesus

Will live forever and ever

Dear LORD=Dear Jesus=

BE OUR LIGHT IN THIS WORLD
