Death
is not the end of life,
but
the beginning of something new.
So let it be that wonderful invitation,
the wedding feast of Bride and Bridegroom,
and rejoicing in eternal life.
Don't let it be
left
to our last moment,
to turn to Jesus.
His saving grace
is there for us now.
His love reaches out.
His pierced hands declare
our debt has been paid.
Release others and be released,
from every burden and weary weight,
that would compress the life out of us.
Be set free in Jesus' name,
and live forever with God.
Heaven calls us home,
with accompanying angelic celebration.
But if we haven't replied to the invite yet,
we are running out of time.
We often don't like to think about our own death. We somehow believe we will just go on for a very long time. If we think we will behave how we want and then turn to God when we are old, we take a great risk and we miss out on the fulfillment in life that our Creator has for us now. Don't believe the lie that there will always be time to change our future eternal destination.
