An Everlasting Life

Someday you will understand
that everything you have
in this world you will lose;
those you love, those who love you,
all of your earthly possessions,
even your own life, but thats
not the end of this story.
Life is the gift that God
has given to you
to live upon this Earth,
to make choices,
to laugh and to cry,
to love or to hate,
to begin as a youth
and to daily grow older,
to become sick and to die.
And then, those that chose
to believe in Jesus
can live again,
a new life,
a spiritual life,
an Everlasting Life
that will never end.

"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but
have an everlasting life."
John 3:16

Very nice James and it fits in well with Psalms 37: 29

Nice to see some still have a spiritual side to their life.

However, this isn't a religious forum and I respect the opinions of all who post here.

Good work James!
