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
