Reaching for the Stars

I was reaching for the stars
When I touched the face of Christ
I heard Him gently say to me
“What are you doing with your life?”

“Are you climbing life’s ladder to success and fame
or are you faithfully sharing my name?"
"When nothing in life is quite what it seems,
where are you searching for what it all means?”

“Seek the wise counsel of godly men.
Search my Word for the meaning of life.
The world doesn’t know where to begin
My yoke eases the burden of strife.”

“Riches on earth will all turn to dust
My splendor forever will be
Material things moths eat or they rust
Put your trust in my kingdom and Me.”

“If you want to dance upon the moon
or touch the stars at night,
make sure you’re mine, I’m coming soon."
"It will be a glorious sight!”

Cheryl:  This is a wonderful poem.  I often wonder what we will see when Christ comes! I don't think we have the imagination to cover it!

Newell, thanks for reading.

Betty Lou, I'm sure our minds will hardly comprehend the glory of what we'll see. Thanks for replying.

Noah, I'm happy you enjoyed my poem. I hope it conveys what's important in life. Knowing Christ and not just trying to gain material things.

Cindi, How kind is your reply.  I love the passage that says "Lay up for yourself the treasure of heaven" not temporary things of this world. His word is one of our greatest treasures. Thanks for reading. Cheryl
