Reach Out

The man was ill and dying,
He lay upon his bed.
With drugs at hand to save him,
Or he would soon be dead.

As he was weak and close to death,
The drugs sat on the stand.
Illness soon would claim his life,
Yet, he would not reach out his hand.

So too it is with Jesus,
He is waiting there for you.
To just reach out and take His hand,
That is all you have to do.

Floria

floria:  A very good example of how quickly we can be saved if only we take His hand.

Dear Strbbux.  We all have his medicine ready and waiting.  We need do so little to receive it.  Joyce

Floria, this is so wonderfully written. I love the comparison of physical death and spiritual death. Without reaching out and taking the cure for either, death is imminent. Loved it.
