If I could pass something on to you my dear friend, what would it be?
If it was a word or two on life, would you want words simply from me?

Words of my own are of so little value, so why should I even pretend?
For the only words of eternal value are found in the Bible my friend.

As I read the Bible, what I should pass on is made very clear to me,
For this life will soon be over, and where are you going eternally?

Much time is spent on planning for this world that will one day end,
But very little thought is given to one's eternal destiny my friend.

All of the world's uncertainties will end soon, this you can be sure,
While the certainty of the coming age we avoid will last forevermore.

One reason to focus on life with The One Who's knocking on the door,
He promised to purify all with this Hope, just as He Himself is Pure.

You may not be moved by my reasoning or you may not even understand,
But for me it goes beyond reason, as it is The Lord's direct command.

For Jesus said seek first The Kingdom and you will have all you need,
This is something instead of glossing over, each day I try to heed.

Before Jesus left He said make disciples of the nations in the world,
It wasn't only for the Apostles, but for all ages to joyfully herald.

Paul wasn't ashamed of the gospel, for it's the power unto Salvation,
This should shame us until we reach every tribe, tongue and nation.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation, Bob Gott

Most are blessed with the ability to read the Bible. But, you've done a splendid job with voicing a few highlights.

Thanks,

Very well done. I don't know why we pour so much effort into this short life and neglect the next one. Thanks for the reminder. Love, Joyce

We are like mist....
eternity in heaven is something far more tangible than a moment on this world.

(sigh) Yes, all the most important words come from the Bible itself, dearest friend, and what a blessing it is to have you and every one of us here sharing its teachings to one another! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is most lightening, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
