From My Heart
Louise Gibson
A young man walking through a cemetery came across this epitaph written on a tombstone:
“Pause, stranger, when you pass me by-
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you will be-
Prepare yourself to follow me.”
His reply: “To follow you, I’m not content-
Until I know which way you went!”
If you want to follow someone,
follow Christ, my friend.
He will lead you into paths of righteousness,
and His mercy has no end.
What we think about heaven
determines how we live today.
We can easily be led away from God’s purposes-
if we do not steadfastly pursue His way.
When things go wrong, as they often do-
How do you respond-
Do you pray it through?
It may depend on your expectancy,
Did you implore the Lord
your need to see?
Patience, dear friend,
the Lord knows our needs before we even ask Him.
He will supply those needs no matter how stark or grim.”
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for
the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Titus 2:11-13
