With or Without ... God?

Without God we are nothing
Without God we have no purpose
We simply exist,
go about, here and there,
aimlessly.

With God our lives take root
We have a reason
to be,
to do
to live.

Without God
love and obedience
is too much effort.

With God
we see His love for us
through His Son
who died for us.

Without God
our focus is on self.

With God
our focus -- heart, soul and mind
is on Him.

Without God
death is the end of life.

With God
death is only the beginning
-- the beginning of life eternal.

Where are you ... Who have you joined forces with ... Has Jesus extended His hand toward you ... Have you heard His call ... Have you ignored His tug ...  Are you true only to yourself ...?    Don't wait too long. Act now. Be now. Live now.

"Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. Therefore, you be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him." (Matthew 24:42, 44)
