How are you, dear friend of mine?
I hope that Life to you is kind
And showing you it's quiet Beauties,
And teaching you it's awesome Duties.
We're not just here to pass the time,
For there's something more Sublime
Than just breathing, eating, too,
We have a Purpose, me and you!
For in all things of God there's meaning,
T'ward that End, we should be leaning
To prove our God, His work was not in vain,
Though often times we give Him pain
When we fail His Way to see,
And trudge a path with heart empty.
For Full, Christ wants our Joy to be,
And Radiate from you and me;
That others, too, may see the Light,
And Praise God for such a sight!
O what a Privilege have we been giv'n,
To help lift others up t'ward heav'n--
As Intercessors and Examples, too,
There is much work that we Can do!
So by God's Grace, to it attend,
To it, your best effort lend
For as you do, you'll surely grow,
And help someone the LORD to know!

Great message, kind of frightening sometimes that we have been gven so much responsibility though, especially when we don't always obey it, ya know what I mean?! But we ALL do have a responsibility to show the others the Lord, and the way to their own salvation. Great poem!

Indeed, David, we are to let others know. Where might we be if no-one had told us?
