Could you be the one for whom God still waits?

The uncertainty
of it all
near
nearer than desired
yet
farther than hoped

Coming
All of us
to face it
No escaping.

For some,
a gentle and peaceful
release
For others,
a struggle of emotions
churning within

A looking forward
to eternity
with
our loved ones
and
Jesus,
our Savior

or
a grim matter-of-factness
there is nothing more
Life is ending
It is over
There are no more chapters,
no more
chances ...

or is there?

Could you
be the one
for whom God
still waits ...
to usher you
into His presence
to embrace you
to love you
forever and ever?

Another chance ...
perhaps.
Another chapter
waiting to unfold

Yes.
Life is ending.

So,
why wait!?

Seek Him
while He is near.

"Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." (Isaiah 55:6-7, New Living Translation)

Who is the Good One?

The Good One
is not you
Nor me
But God above
The Lord almighty

The Good One
is
King of Kings
Lord of Lords
The I AM
of
yesterday
today
tomorrow

The young ruler
asks
"what good thing
shall I do
that I may 
inherit eternal life?"

There is nothing
good or bad
not one thing
not his works
nor yours
nor mine
Nothing
we could ever
do
will enable us
to achieve
eternal life

It is not
to work for
like buying a house
or car
There is
nothing
we can
accomplish
on our own

But,
we can
accept ...
God's gift.
For it is
His gift
of eternal life
that He gives
to you and me
through
His Son.

Thinking
all you need do
is obey
the Ten Commandments
or
what you deem right
in your
personal thinking
lowers God
from the
honor and glory
He rightfully deserves.

The young ruler asks.
And Jesus,
God's son,
answers.
"Go, 
sell what you have
and give 
to the poor, 
and you 
will have 
treasure in heaven;"

Be obedient
to your Father
in heaven
Seek to do
the Lord's will,
not your own
Hear, see, be open
to what the Lord
instructs you.

The Good One
is not you
is not me.

It is not about
your rights
It is about
what is right.
GOD.

"No one
is good
but One,
that is, God." 


"...with God all things are possible." 

Matthew 19:16-21, 26
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
