: The Pages Of Our Lives : Two (1218 hits)

With Every Sunrise We Are Presented

A Fresh, Blank Page In Our Life’s

Journal.


The Lord Is A God Of New Beginnings,

And He Gives Us The Freedom To Fill

Each Page With Whatever We Choose.


Because Of The Demands Of Modern

Life, With The Breakneck Hustle And

Bustle Of Daily Existence, We Often

Don’t Even Skim Over Our Journal

Entries At The End Of The Day – Or

Week, Or Year.


If We Could Review The Pages Of

Our Lives Up Until Today, Would

We Be Pleased?


Is God Pleased?


Would We Find Abundant Living?


If We Only Scribbler And Scurry

Away The Years That Are Given Us,

How Remorseful A Thing It Will Be

After The Last Page Is Written.


When We And God Look Back Over

The Scrawled Pages That Led Up To

The Last One, Suppose They Are

Filled With Ink That Is Nonsense.


Suppose All The Pages Are Blurred

And Have No Meaning.


It Could Easily Happen – And Has

And Does.


Page-After-Page Of A Life Filled With

Hum-Drum Existence Of Meaningless

Life.


What Worse Thing Could Happen For

A Christian Than To Live Out All His

Page - Come To The Last One, And

Leave Behind Journals Only Worth

Burning.


Instead, Let's Allow The Lord To Lead

Us, Inspire Us, Push And Prod Us To

Leave Behind Pages That Are Branded

With Words, Deeds And Prayers That

Influence Lives For His Kingdom.


What Else Is Relevant?


What Else Will Have Any Lasting

Purpose Or Meaning?


Only God's Word And Eternal

Souls Will Remain.


Recognizing Those Priorities Will

Help Us See The Importance Of

Simplicity.


God Can Forgive The Wasted Pages

Of Our Lives And Help Us To

Savor The Unblemished Days

Ahead.


We'll Need To Slow Down And

Remain Single - Minded On Him.


Let's Make A Commitment Now

To Fill The Unwritten Pages, Day -

By - Day, With Lasting Moments -

Ones That Will Influence The

Eternal Destiny Of Our Fellow

Man.


And Then We'll Whisper, "Thank

You, Lord, For Abundant New

Beginning.


Let Us Walk With Joy In Your

Son - Light Through The Rest Of

Our Lives' Pages."



+ A Bible Verse +


… Be Very Careful, Then, How

You Live - Not As Unwise, But

As Wise, Making The Most Of

Every Opportunity, Because The

Days Are Evil. Ephesians 5:15,16


Take A Fresh Page In Your Journal

And Draw A Picture That Portrays

An Aspect Of A New Beginning,

Such As A Sunrise, Baby In A

Nest, Or An Opening Rose Bud. Posted By: Judith A. Birt
